Most of the CAs I fly with and lately most of the jumpseaters (MSP320) seem to think scope is very important, but also have no clue where to begin with pay. I say "50% and work rules," they say no way. I say "15% plus 5% YOY for 5 years," and they say, "Fantastic, we shouldn't expect much." I think guys are just beat down.

I have had schedulers in the last two years try and do that. They have paid me every time when they did not honor the contract. If they are in violation of the contract call ALPA. Normally you wont even have to go the grievance route. In a few weeks you will get a call and receive pay for a missed trip or assignment pay for a incorrectly assigned trip.
I'll second that motion. I requested a trip over thanksgiving last year that would have let me spend thanksgiving evening with my family. It was a 4 day, and was awarded to a junior pilot, and I was awarded a different 4 day trip. Called scheduling to see what happened, and they admitted they screwed it up, but couldn't fix it (too late, they said.) I sent a report to my rep and the scheduling comitee, and I was paid the difference in the value of the two trips (On top of the credit for the trip I flew - even though the trip I flew was actually worth more.)

Why should we waste negotiating capital on less than 7% of the fleet? Mor money for more guys... not lots of money for a very few. I will never understand that logic. (Assuming your post was not TIC)

FWIW, I think scope is critically important. And "50% and work rules" is what I say as a minimum too. And I think I'm being extremely reasonable with that, as it would take 70% just to get us back to the buying power we had prior to the pay cuts.

TIC mostly. Narrowbody I get. Widebody: I see no reason the 764, A330 and 777 dont pay the same. The 747 is significantly bigger and generates more revenue, it should pay more. The 767 is significantly smaller and should pay less.
That said, I could live with straight widebody vs narrow (meaning aspiration and bodily functions would continue).
