I think you and the mods should talk, and I think posters ought to consider helping. I don't really see a way you can get into the crux of the discussion about what we're doing to further our goals, when it's aparent many people are only interested in who would be doing whatever we'll do.
Got a post that's mostly talking which is the best CBA? Moderate it home. It has a home, it's just temporarily lost in the L&G. Guide it home, ever so gently, and lovingly.

I do take them at their word that they will improve Scope. I do understand there is a lot to do there, at both ends of the gauge spectrum. I can live with a "conceptual" opener. I just want "improve" to mean "improve".
But never mind the negotiators: I'm curious about Slowplay's vision. What do you think we should do with the DCI issue, Slowplay?

Hopefully a sign that negotiators are considering a number of fresh approaches to the issue.

My perspective:
I thought the prop limit in the contract already is 76 seats. The new definition doesn't have seat limits.
Allowing geared turbofans enables newer gen aircraft at DCI, IOW it doesn't remove them...IOW not a tightening of scope, instead extending the outsourcing.
If geared turbofans were NOT permitted, that would be a tightening of scope and certainly contracts would be sunsetted in somebody's lifetime.

Hey, come on Clamp. When you asked me to stop, I stopped. I think the vast majority of us DPA supporters did so also. Other DALPA guys have recently accused us of posting DPA stuff when no such thing occurred in an attempt to shut down posts they didn't like. When they did that, it was/is the DPA guys that tell them to take it to the other thread.

You were never the problem. The other mods weren't helping me keep the DALPA/DPA stuff out of this thread (or gave up earlier), so honestly I just gave up... that is what I was talking about.
