Any Scope experts care to chime in? This could be an issue in our next contract.

I personally believe RJ scope concerns will move to the back burner on their own. And possibly sooner than currently envisioned. A little bird said that ongoing negotiations with BBD hinge on them taking back a bunch of smaller RJs early in return for other considerations in our C-Series buy.

Going forward, as we build up the lower gauge portion of our fleet with more efficient planes, outsourced RJ flying will become increasingly irrelevant.
