I don't think you have the slightest clue what more large RJs means to junior guys--nor do you care. That's fine, but don't sit there and preach to those you have proven you are perfectly happy to sell down the river.
That's why I have zero respect for your demeaning, patronizing, and self-centered "opinion."
You have been on my ignore list for quite awhile, but lately I have been reading your drivel out of morbid curiosity. I walked away from this one because I am gonna take the high road with you.
First, you are assuming that I do not care about scope. Nowhere in any of my posts have I ever said that scope is not important, and that I would sell it for more money. Quite the contrary. This agreement is a huge win for Delta pilots, and it is disproportionately more so for the junior side of the list.. and that includes you. The 717s do NOTHING for me. The RJs do not affect me.. All
your assumptions regarding the 50s, 70s and 76s are based totally and completely on a pipe dream.. and that dream is that that flying can be recaptured and brought back to mainline, at anything resembling a reasonable price. So.. maybe in a sense you are right. I am NOT going to take a paycut in order to ensure that YOU have a 76 seat jet to fly around for $50/hour. Sorry, but believe it or not, it is not all about YOU Bacon...
You won big in this agreement, and for if that offends you, I am truly sorry.
