A contract item as defined by the NMB, is pay, work rules, filing of vacancies etc. Scope is not one of them, it's simply who is to be covered by that agreement. You can't strike over 76 jet flying at DCI, once you give it up, it's gone. The only way to put it back is to get management to volunteer it back. How do you plan to do that? Voting NO repeatedly on a contract isn't going to do that.

No, their responses didn't change my mind, and in fact I didn't get the impression they agreed that the reserve rules in the NNP were concessionary or would result in fewer pilots. However, I did give them another datapoint for their consideration on representing their constituency, and did tell them I'd absolutely vote "no" if a single 76 seater was increased, no matter what the pay increase was. But, at least they read my email and replied quickly, personally, at length, and not via a form reply. As far as feeling "represented" by my LEC, I actually felt pretty good with the responsiveness. Better than I do with my tenants...

Scambo, I looked into it and I'll be darned if when I grabbed my contract off the book shelf there it was right in the front of the PWA, Section 1. As far as whether or not we can strike over scope I don't buy his claim that we can't. Don't tell me you believe that DAL could force DCI 100 seaters into section 1without our pilot group having any recourse? I don't buy that for a minute and I think the NMB would be in our corner if it came to striking over it. Prove me wrong but in the mean time I maintain that Mesabah has no clue what he is talking about.
