What did that have to do with mainline pilots still selling out scope?
The plug has been put in place and mainline pilots are all trying to get back the flying. Wonder where you would wind up if all that flying was brought back in house?
A Jumpseat debate is separate from a scope debate. The shell game that is played for the Jumpseat by especially the Skywest folks is a huge land grab. Perhaps this will all be fixed someday. But in the end I suspect you would rather be in the mainline cockpit versus the RJ for your career. Maybe you would have a different opinion about Jumpseat’s if you sat in a different cockpit.
