And General, I'm looking for clarification. You earlier stated "...Those are all VERY important, and I am willing to sink this thing over SCOPE alone." By 'sink this thing,' do you mean allow Delta to enter Chapter 7?
If so, does this means that you are willing (via potential cause and effect) to allow Delta to liquidate due to a strike? I simply want to understand your context here.
So--and again I'm just trying to understand your logic, not throw stones--that means that you are willing to cause Delta to cease operations because of the implied actions managment could take if the contract is abrogated, scope included.
So---everyone is out of a job, simply because of an implied--and thus far non-articulated--threat to change the scope rules? Even if everything else in your current contract were to be maintained?
I am willing to VOTE NO on any eventual TA that includes scope issues that are not beneicial to our pilot group. The first thing I will vote FOR is a strike IF OUR CONTRACT IS THROWN OUT. That is first and foremost. Then, if a TA is reached, I will vote NO if any SCOPE changes include any airplanes over 70 seats for anyone other than the DL mainline pilots. There are other important issues too that I will not overlook, like sick leave issues and OJI issues. (They don't want to pay you if you get hurt ON THE JOB) Scope is my first priority, but not my only priority. So, again, I will first vote TO STRIKE if they try to take away our contract. Then, if a TA is reached, I will vote NO if scope is loosened to allow larger planes at DCI.
Bye Bye--General Lee
