You do realize now with AA and their new 88 seat proposal that scope will never get reclaimed. It is not anyone regionals fault for the influx of RJs and less mainline jobs. It is the senior mainline pilots who allowed it to happen and will continue to until we start flying space craft. Management has figured out that it is alot cheaper to outsource and they will protect that by offering pay increases to get those senior guys back up to what they were making pre BK. To top it off now they will not be able to compete with AA so they will throw other ideas at the pilots to get their beloved outsourced RJs. I want a mainline job as much as the rest but I am also not blind about what is happening in the industry. We are contract workers and we will fly whatever our mainline partners will give us. We cannot refuse more Qs and say we wont fly them, we already do. 190s on the other hand, we can tell them to pound sand because of the low propsed pay rate, etc. But the arguement cannot be f u Delta, this is a mainline plane only they mainline can fly it! Their response? "Ok well then were giving blowjets a call". Get a clue. We are our own worst enemy and the root of the problem is the pilots who sold out on scope in the first place.

WOW that was alot longer than I thought... O well needed to be said
