Without a good scope clause the mainline company can go buy e190 or c-series and give them to the regionals[/QUOTE]

This is what REALLY scares me. Particularly the C Series Aircraft. I believe there is probably a limit to the economics of e170's moving forward. But what is going to happen when it comes time to replace the 737-700 and smaller Airbus aircraft????

This is a huge job security issue, particularly for those of us on the lower half of the seniority list.
