Can't disagree with you on that one.
I'm just excited for all the regional guys, like I used to be myself, who are going to be hired in the next 10 years. People who realize they got their PIC not by flying a Saab to Rochester or Albany, but who flew coast-to-coast on an E-170.
In other words, people who know what scope has meant for their regional career and understand it once they get to mainline.
I'll never vote on something that relaxes scope because I saw first hand how my regional doubled in size in only two years due to scope relaxation!
