Though as someone else pointed out, most of the pilots at the majors now are still the same the ones who sold out on scope in the past. A lot of them came up through the military, and really have no idea what kind of a mess a civilian aviation career is, and a lot of others were lucky to get on with the majors before the lost decade and really haven't seen how bad things have gotten first hand. If there's good money in it for them they will cave on mtow scope in a heartbeat.
I disagree. The guys that actively sold scope in the 90s are a huge minority at the majors now. At United, at least 80% felt the effects of the scope sale in a big and very negative way. I think it is very unlikely that you'll see any changes to scope going forward.

My take anyway...
