This is the new age for the industry and there is absolutely nothing we as pilots can do about beyond quitting and that aint happening. All we can do as regional pilots at this point is have our unions fight for compensation. If majors want bigger regionals they will get them. Offer a bigger carrot to mainline pilots and youll get your scope. If you could make 20 bucks more an hour on a 73 or 77 wouldnt you take it after everything you lost after 9/11? Someone will start flying 900's for AA. Its inevitable. I dont want my company to not go after it. If its out there and someone is going to fly it I want it to be us.
While you are correct that scope is pretty much out of your control, you are incorrect in your assumption that waving 20 bucks more an hour at mainline pilots will have them give up scope. UAL/CAL pilots are fighting hard to hold the line and hopefully take back scope, and DAL has given up it's last (hopefully will go for recapture).
What happens at AMR when they get bent over the 1113c table remains to be seen- hopefully the scope line is able to be held.
