This language does not exist at AA and you see the results.

Then why are you implying scope concessions are good?
The company negotiated the ratios knowing their fleet plan. They know we always want more airplanes so they capitalized on their acquisition plans by asking us to relax our scope further. Of course, we obliged because that's just what we do.
Are you insinuating the 717s, 737s, and C series are coming because we fooled this management team? Did these acquisitions only make sense with 325 large RJs but weren't economically viable with 255 large RJs? These planes are coming anyways if it makes economic sense. Our scope give is just gravy on the top. This is taking mainline flying and giving it to the regionals. Is there something wrong with Delta pilots flying Delta branded aircraft?
