This kind of removes or at least reduces the impact of small jet scope recapture for more senior pilots. Recapture is great. There was a time when I was willing to expend significant negotiating capital for rj scope recapture. At this point, it seems like a fait accompli, just give it time. It's still a great thing.

What delta needs now is top end organic expansion. If that happens, I cannot imagine the positive effects that would ripple through the entire seniority list. And no, I'm not willing to give concessions to make that happen.
