Unless scope gets "tightened up" a little with C2015. Maybe a 1 for 2 deal to park 50s for C-series would be a win?

Everybody is positioning for a scope cave.

Or to feed the beast: International scam LCC's. Emirates America, NAI connection, etc..

There's no way they would buy these jets for a mainline scope cave in, it's way too risky. These are for something else, that's my bet. But still, the big question remains, where are they going to get pilots?

Here I am thinking you are going to guess MD-8800er or DC-9-3270lr as our RFP candidates, but instead you minimized Boomers correct analysis on the scope we already caved on.
