And all you numb nuts tripping over yourselves to fly a CR9 or E190 at the regionals, KNOCK IT OFF! All you are doing is increasing your time at regionals and reducing the number of mainline jobs out there worth going to.
*steps off the soap box*
No 500 hour pilot is EVER going to refuse to fly a jet of any size. The only pilots who have a shot at controlling this are the mainline guys...it's probably too late for 50-seat scope, but maybe they could roll it back to 69 seats? ALPA are you listening? The regional guys would mostly be OK with that cuz they don't get paid a great deal more to fly 90 seaters.
