"scope definition" is still open?

Isn't that the crux of whole scope issue, as well as the sticking point of the whole contract?

Theres no #€£*%# agreement!

Scope is closed. Definitions, a completely different section, is open.

That's where they try to determine what the definition of "is" is.

Cause they always ask for more than what they want. 86 seats in an 86 seat airframe runs extremely contrary to their "more first class seats than anyone" marketing. They don't operate anything in max certifiable other than obselete 50 seaters and they hate those. They want to put a first class in large "RJ's". Had we fallen for the 86, they would be one step ahead next time wanting to keep 86 in an E190 or comparable.

We give them an inch and then brag that we didn't give them a mile. We gave them 70 additional 90 seat jets fake limited to 76 (just barely below what they would like them to be limited to anyway) without forcing them to have to give up the same number of 70 seaters while at the same time enabling them to get out from under multi billion dollar bad management sub prime peak real estate bubble prices on obselete 50 seaters.

They just got to up the number in the large RJ fleet. Now they will have a much larger "armada" of DC-9-10 replacement jets for next time when they will move to up the seat count while keeping the number in the fleet the same. Then the time after that they will want more while keeping the seat count the same. If we don't give it to them, they will threaten to buy someone with million year leases for more lift and squeal how they can't afford to get out of the contracts and it will bankrupt us if we don't raise the "hard cap". Book it.

It's gonna take 2 dozen lawers 2 weeks to comb through the definitions to make sure we aren't getting hosed just in the terminology department.

If the definitions favor management, then we are in for a screwin.

2 dozen "ALPA" lawyers who got their law degree from the University of Nigeria online campus.

Honest question...

Was it an LEC resolution that passed, and MEC resolution that passed, or was there an actual amendment to the CAL MEC Policy Manual that delineates the change you are talking about?

It might be an interesting concept to employ at other ALPA units.

Really? Where do you people come up with such nonsense?

ALPA's General Counsel: Cohen, Weiss, & Simon

I think you are remiss in the estimation of the quality of the firm's attorneys.

I apologize. I refer to the CAL in house counsel.
