But you're referring to possibilities as "facts", and then you label yourself as some lone crusader of truth amongst a sea of self motivated deceivers. You are just a pilot pawn like the rest of us in this airline chess game. You don't "know" facts about private meetings and deals taking place right now for future aircraft RFPs. You gotta wait for announcements like the rest.
Do you understand what Mainline Scope and the ATP minimums coupled with low regional compensation is doing to the regional model right now?
To tell prospective new hires to wait for management to announce something that will hurt their careers is terrible advice. You should be advising prospective new hires of the reality of the regional situation so they can make an informed decision and not be shocked when it happens.
I don't need to wait for announcements to know they will happen. Just read between the lines and you can make a very good determination about what is happening.
