Lastly, so long as the legacy pilot groups don't sign away scope, Anderson, Parker, and Smisek have no way of transferring aircraft off their certificates and hunting for a cheaper labor pool.

So, tell me again how were going to see regional carriers flying around Boeing and Airbus products?

What very few hard liners at the regionals never seem to remember is that there isn't a regional carrier in this country that owns it's own flying, and that makes all the difference.
