Go do a search for it on here and see the astonishing number of your peers who voted a full fledged, no exceptions, "NO" for the staple idea which would place the E175 at mainline.
What many guys argued is a staple is great, but unless you can guarantee that those jets will not then be outsourced, and or the 255 cap on 70/76 seat jets be lowered, the idea of a staple would be a surefire way to get those pilots numbers and then subsequently furloughed.
Of course most went, Duh!, but the reality is unless you can simultaneously reign in the scope limits, bringing pilots to a list with out a guarantee of the jets staying on property ultimately would result in pilots with not jets, which would equate to no jobs and a resultant furlough.
