Delta has mainline RJ's, that's something for scope. Everything larger than 50 seats should be mainline. Except that Q400, keep that back at the regionals, even with another stretch job. Heck, maybe giving Skywest SFO-MSP is keeping us from getting 787s. If we have a go at scope, if it's even part of the TPA, let's scope the code share side as well. How quick does the 737 do PSC-PDT? Do we want to fly that route as well? Seniority has nothing to do with it if most of the lines in the bid packet are built in a way that it's impossible to commute to them both sides. There are so many issues, scope may not be the most pressing, and it's a huge. We have good negotiating teams, I have faith. Right now, there is no scope. So give a little bit of a break to someone seeing the bright side of expanding routes. If that's me not doing an OC turn at the end of a 4 day in the immediate future, all the better.
