Everyone is negotiating or beginning to negotiate new contracts, and at the top of the "wish list" for management is scope relaxation. It doesn't matter the airline, they all want it, and bad. After years and years of scope relief and the regional airlines overtaking the majority of domestic flying, we are finally at a point where pilots have gotten smart and said no more scope, and no exceptions.

So the question is, now that management is starting to realize that pilots will not budge on scope, how long will it take (or will it ever make sense financially) for the majors to bring the regional flying back in house to save money again?

They are stuck with 50 seaters that are losing money, they are limited on 76 seaters, they want to replace some airplanes with upcoming 100 seat aircraft (C-series and like). But if pilots never budge on scope... Discuss...
