Actually you are quite incorrect on this point. We do have problems with it. Big time. We all got suckered years ago about the role of the RJ in this industry. I'm content to admit that I'm a part of this problem as an RJ driver. The way I see it, anyone who voted to give away scope or who took this crap job flying RJs can share responsibility for the mess we are in. I don't hate on anyone for it (except the few idiots with the 'Guppy Killer' stickers or the blind RJ haters) but pointing fingers and being divisive won't get us anywhere. Management wins every time we all stay divided.

So please stand the line - all of you who work at a legacy - no more scope relief. Please. I'd be happy to take a furlough from my RJ job now if it meant a better career down the road.

And if you strike for it, my non-union ass will be happily be out on the picket line with you (if you'll allow me).

Signed,

A lowly RJ guy
