It's funny how UAL pilots get excited about SNB on the mainline property. The rates, the scope choke, all of it was just a protective measure not a prescriptive one. The scope language is far more valuable to our careers than an actual fleet of NextGen RJs.
What am I missing?
There's nothing new here. Over the next 2 years you'll hear the management d'jour cry out about how we's be able to rule the industry if only they had scope relief. It'll have been 20 years since the RJ Exception Letter of 1998, and United Pilots are still suffering from it. I hope we don't make the same mistake twice.
