While "doing nothing" is certainlly a possibility in either or both openers and/or any eventual TA, just doing that (IOW nothing) won't help the regional model remain viable in the slightest. I'd rathr have recapture/sunsetting/etc too, but letting it die off on its own is far from the worst thing that could happen.
DCI scope changes require an open dialog, management here has said status quo going forward. The other details in the openers are unknown to me.
We start taking RJ's out of the desert in July, management here has gotten the staffing situation under control.
The regional model as it currently stands may not survive, but that is not going to change the scope section of your contract. Even if the RJ's return to mainline, it's still permitted flying, and is not flown under the mainline PWA.
