Remember the last Kirby proposal sucked. I expect this one to suck also
321's are group II and as the 757/767's leave, more pilots will be taking pay cuts to the lower pay category. As far as scope, expect increased seating and gross weight to possibly reach the E-190, but certainly the higher gross E-175 new variants anticipated. Scope is a slippery slope and once you're there, it's difficult not to slide further.
