I would say lack of real leadership

From: 18%er but I’ll enforce UPA23 to the last period.

A merger is able to happen without doing anything with scope...as far as giving up scope. The pilots/ALPA will have more control in this than most realize. I still think it will be very difficult to get back what has been given away.

As to the scope debate and how it relates to contracts - Does it matter whether a FFD operator departs with a 50 seat or 70 seat airplane?
If not perhaps CALs scope is within reach. Otherwise, not one more 70 seater than is operating today.

Look at the range the 70 seaters have now. What airplane has it replaced? UAL has put crj-700s on old 737 runs where mainline flew. So I do think there is a difference between 70 and 50 seats.
The 50's can barely make it above 30k and have all kinds of weight issues. They should be "feed" not destination flights: I.e. Sbn-Ord, pia-Ord not Sfo-Sat, or Lax-Dfw.

You do a job that sometimes requires you to focus on doing important tasks as well as possible, without informing the passengers exactly what you're doing...and why. Maybe the MECs are handling this correctly right now, and you're too stuck in the passenger mode to appreciate what its like up front?
Not a criticism; just a thought.
