Scope is wording contained within the collective bargaining agreement that is intended to define what work (flying) is to be accomplished by the signatory pilot group and what work can or cannot be accomplished by outside entities (such as contractors).

Very oversimplified explanation. For an idea of its practical application and effects, search:

Mesa

Freedom

Jets for jobs (j4j)

"surplus 1"

"General Lee"
