Mainline flying was taken away from mainline airlines under duress. Pilots felt compelled to help their airlines because their retirements were being threatened. Mainline airlines furloughed and parked jets as well. The result: scope relief. Pilots also had guns to put their heads by bankruptcy judges, and didn't have much say in the matter.

Well, guess what, the tables are turned. Now we have a say in the matter.

HOLD THE LINE and TAKE IT BACK!

Post 9/11 it was an orgy for management to grab as much as they could whether they actually needed it or not- it was disgusting to watch. Then they rubbed it in our face for years, payback is a b****.

That's right.

Payback is here and now. Not gonna give an inch. Time to strangle some damn geese and squeeze out some eggs. Sick and tired of management screwing the pilots and the piloting profession.

Take it back!
