Actually 1E8 is not scope either. It is the "subcontracting" section of chapter one which, granted, is generally lumped in with scope. Remember too, section G, which is also lumped in with scope. It gives management the right to operate its business "including, without limitation, the right to: direct all employees; determine the appropriate number of employees; hire, promote and discharge; establish and enforce rules of conduct; maintain discipline and efficiency; introduce new equipment; determine the location(s) of the work force, operations and facilities; plan, direct and control operations; expand, limit or curtail operations when deemed advisable to do so; sell all or part of the business; sell or lease aircraft or facilities;…."
One has to wonder what will happen to the 37 FEs now that there are no airplanes for them to crew; and if the rest of the Polar crowd will be so happy with this award and the possible unintended consequences. Time will tell I guess.
