You guys need to not only become familiar with your contract and SCOPE but also with the one at the majors, please stay in touch with that stuff because it's your career! And not they just signed a contract last year, that SCOPE that was agreed to in that contract is what put into language the 717 replacing the 50 seaters and doing a ratio between mainline and RJs. When is all said and done 10-12% of current regional flying is going to mainline. In the next 2-3 years. Delta is parking a few hundred 50 seaters and replacing them with 70 CRK 900's and 88 B717
