Heck, Iberia has Air Nodstrum flying the CRJ 1000 as Iberia express. Air Canada had E175s at mainline and now they are getting sent to a regional due to cost pressures.
I'll make the same wager with you, $100 Amazon gift card if UNICAL can hold 50 seat scope in their new contract. All I see is you guys pounding your fists on table, management pointing and laughing, and Delta pilots making tens of thousands of dollars more than your pilot group. Good luck!
In one ear and out the other, I'm sure one day you'll be flying a desk in the CPO, telling your pilots how they should be doing it and berating anyone who disagrees.
Good luck in your non-flying management career. If your airline survives.

If you're not going to fight Scope for the junior pilots, don't expect them to support your fight to get your retirement back.
