Then Solo, Private ticket.............on and on until you can fly this airplane for the company.

I've been called a "poor silly soul" by former management for wanting to do my job AND get paid properly for it, yet management has no problems bringing in and paying "top talent to retain their services".

A popular phrase comes to mind: "This would be a great airline if it weren't for the pilots!"

Is that directed at me or just a general statement because I already fly for us....

YES RRR just started....

I think past events have proven that management will get what they want irregardless of a scope clause or any form of agreement. We have protections in ASA's contract and in the Transfer and Process Agreement with XJT but it would probably take a crafty lawyer a couple of hours to figure out the loop holes in either. The threat of a whipshaw is definitely alive and well and the leverage to secure air tight language isn't there.

skw is currently flying in IAH replacing xjt crews and xjt is flying in ord replacing skw crews.... in my opinion it is a hint of things to come.
