They were only competing interests in the opinion of the DAL MEC and that is proven by the fact that 95% of CP pilots took the flow to DL when offered.
I don't think you will find a whole lot of regional guys that want to see this trend continue. Unfortunately, in most ways you guys control the careers of those that come behind you. The modern day B-scale and only you all can end it.
You hear mainline guys talk about RJ guys taking their jobs, well, mainline pilots weakening scope has taken the career potential from many RJ guys.
I agree, and that's why I keep voting NO on scope relaxation. Unfortunatly, I am always in the minority, the majority seems to want a larger pay raise in exchage for scope, imagine that.
Then they complain when they have to sit copilot for even more years, or get furloughed, while the RJ's keep getting bigger...
There has always been a 70/30 split at DL South when it comes to contract votes. 70% sheep, 30% ****ed off. Until that ratio changes, nothing else wil.
