Gentlemen,
I am an RJ driver for PSA on the US Airways side of things. Please Please Please for the love of god and this industry DO NOT give up SCOPE. I for one did not see myself sitting in the right seat for five plus years flying an RJ. My aspiration was to move on and continue my career with a legacy carrier. If the Legacy's continue to give into management and outsource mainline flying to these cut throat cheap operators that fly the most uncomfortable POS in the sky, the hopes of all regional pilots will be lost, because there will be nothing to move onto or into. I know that pay is important to all pilots and I for one would never tell you guys what to do, but please just look at the bigger picture. Do not sacrifice the product. Republic Holdings and TSA already fly the E170/175 for you guys. Next thing you know it will be the 190 then the guppy at $25.00 an hour, and you know what, all the Embry Riddle Grads and everyone else out there with Shiny Jet Syndrome will chomp at the bit to fly it. Who would not want a chance, but it all comes with a price. I am not putting anyone down here, all I am asking is that you gentleman take a hard stand on outsourcing and please keep the flying in your house! I would like to fly with you someday, and I will not have that opportunity if the majority of your flying is outsourced to the lowest bidder.

Thanks for listening and fly safe!
