I asked a forme AIPA pres why we had never sought a scope clause. He responded that 'the company wouldn't allow it'. I asked him since when what the company would or wouldn't allow had so much impact on what we ASKED for.
Besides that, the SH EBA had a clause in it about the company 'discussing' 'low cost' issues and they certainly didn't discuss Jetstar before going ahead. Why would they do differently with scope? Don't get me wrong, I agree entirely but getting the company to 'sign off' on it willingly is another story. Tread softly and carried an armoured tank division I say!
