Is that even a serious question? Do you think I'm that short-sighted? Number one, there is no reason to give up pay to demand scope. If it came down to that, you bet I'd take a few dollar hit to insure my CAREER.

A few posts back you mentioned flying empty 737s wasn't smart. Seems you've been fooled by airline management and the manufacturers, having designated the 175 as an "RJ." There is nothing "regional" about that aircraft. It is in name only, and apparently they've succeeded in making mainline pilots think they're too small to fly for honest wages. Those "ERJs" are mainline aircraft that should be flown by mainline pilots.

Have you seen a 175 parked next to a 700 yet? That will blow your mind. Now say Boeing put an "RJ" in front of their smaller variants, would you petition AAG to have SkyWest fly it?
