1900, Driver,
The short answer to your question is, we gave up our scope because our senior guys convinced too many junior guys to vote for a contract that did little more than save their (the senior guys) pensions.
Question for you though. Why do you think it's ok to ask us such a question in such a demeaning way?
I doubt if you would show up looking for a jumpseat with such a question.
If you want to stay at your regional and fly your 1900 thru E-175, then go right ahead. Those of us who will still be here in the next 10-20 years will be forced to fix it and handle the business that wasn't done last year. But, don't act like we messed it up for you. We messed it up for ourselves, you are not even here (yet).
