“It’s in the interest of myself and others denied jobs at mainline to expand scope so we can have a better quality of life. It’s unfortunate that ALPA mainline pilots do not do more to advance ALL ALPA regional pilots so we can be on the same team. I’m enjoying the new 175 and expect to see more coming our way. It’s a great airplane and fun to fly.“-airlinepilot50

So you want to expand scope to get more planes at your regional so that you can upgrade sooner? The time it will take you to get to a major will increase, not decrease. That would be about another 5 years of career stagnation at the regionals for every other regional pilot and yourself. Seems selfish and short sighted to me me.
