To those who don't understand: pilots don't own the flying, the airlines do. Hence, it's impossible for any pilot or even a union to "steal" flying from another.

To those who don't understand: pilots don't own the flying, the airlines do. Hence, it's impossible for any pilot or even a union to "steal" flying from another.

Pilots and management agree on who flies what and set it in writing through the pilot's "scope clause," which is found in their mutually agreed contract.

So in a sense you are right in that pilots don't "own" the flying, but they do have a say in who flies what.
