Our flying has been constantly given away to Horizon or worse SkyWest. We have zero scope and I’m certain we will see aircraft with greater than 76 seats sooner than later.
Ask yourself this: “what are they going to replace the 700s with?”
I don’t have that much seniority and don’t believe this corporation will hesitate for a single second to furlough someone they don’t call on reserve.

Totally agree the future here is probably 190s or the equivalent at Horizon, there’s just too much of a gap in seats between the e175 and 737-800/900. The company will exploit the lack of scope and put as many as they want at Horizon. Horizon is running new hire classes in the current environment, if that doesn’t say something I’m not sure what will. Some people probably actually believe that Horizon getting RNP certification for southeast is just for diversions, give me a break.
I also agree with you that the company is not going to tolerate paying pilots to be sitting on reserve not flying or out on leaves for very long.
