Thanks for the heads up. I don't think I've received my copy yet. I'll take a look. Thanks.

Air Line Pilot: What, in your view, are the greatest threats facing the U.S. and Canadian airline industries?
Moak: EMIRATES—and other airlines with similar business models. These companies are well-funded and don’t have to live by the same rules as our airlines.
U.S. and Canadian airlines can compete with any carriers in the world, but we must establish a strategic plan to level the playing field. It is imperative that we develop a cooperative relationship among regulators, management, and labor and shape the direction in which globalization will materialize on our continent.
The number of Open Skies agreements is expanding exponentially. The U.S. is now a party to almost 100 Open Skies agreements. Globalization is here to stay. Within these agreements there are several facts that we need to accept: government-supported airlines throughout the world have an economic advantage; there are countries that outlaw the unionization of airline employees; and not all Open Skies agreements are created equal. With that in mind, we need to ensure that our contracts, our safety standards, and our flying are not negatively affected.

Dude, he starts off his Q&A talking specifically about Scope...

I read the passage several times. Please point out the part where scope is discussed.

O yeah, There's globalizationn, cabotage, and (frankly) the weakness of the negotiating position of our federal gov't in the first part, just no scope. IOW the threats are things we cannot control...lets lay awake at night.
