Agreed on the control issue. NO pilot group will fall on their sword for another, that's common knowledge. I'm not blaming (nor am I angry at) the percentage of those at AE who only see the short-term and believe that a large quantity of large RJ's are in their best interest, as they simply are more interested in a quick, sweet dessert, rather then long-term nourishment. Actually, it IS in the best interest for some who are senior and over 50 like was said earlier and those are the cheerleaders leading the young and junior astray for their own interests.
Some get that and others don't. Ultimately, it will be all who go hungry more often in the future.
