Schwanker,
I agreed with you and voted against C2012. But you had to look beyond just the 717 to the block hour ratio which was increased as a result of an event-driven process.
Block hours = Pilot Jobs
So if we gain 4 to 1 as RJ flying decreases it is a trade worth considering objectively. To get to no DCI we have to cross through less DCI.
While scope is a religious item (I like the term moral item) for me, what will probably effect you and I more is what is coming with Aeromexico. It would be pleasing if we could move forward and start getting that JV restricted in such a way that we attain at least our fair share of that growth.
