I think all flying should be flown by the lowest bidder and the brand names like United and US Airways and American should just be shells with all operations outsourced. China could bring in their tens of thousands of qualified pilots (trained at US schools) and fly under Chinese rules. Americans will love getting the most bang for their buck. And they won't have those damn unions mucking things up with annoying 'regulations' that involve safety. Damn union pilots with their demands like being paid and having days off. Seriously, who needs that if we can get a cheaper supplier of labor? Bring on the A330!
Those pesky pilots and their scope clauses..... sheesh.
All jokes aside, would the US SCOPE allow RAH to fly the E190 for them. Of course I don't want to see that, I am just curious how is it that RAH has airplanes that they can't find someone to fly for, is this a corporate tactic to gain leverage over the pilots. I understand that the no one is looking for 50 seaters and that the Q400 fleet is to small (4) to be operated efficiently but just wondering why they are looking to unload 7 Ejets.
