It appears Capt. B's letter asserting a false claim to the 35 additional super-premium-longbody-regional-jets did something that MEC Chairmen have mostly failed to do - unify the pilot group. The request for SCOPE informational picketing is going forward to the MEC in June.

Wish I had thought to request the MEC pay for hotel rooms for any Endeavor pilots who wish to fly out and attend. The answer to this "problem" is to either flow the pilots who operate these jets to Delta, as Delta pilots, or give the entire Endeavor list Delta numbers and let them bid into mainline equipment as their seniority holds it. If the company doesn't like the turnover on the RJ's then they just need to pay the RJ types more.

Savings can come through staff reductions of the managers who maintain the redundant certificate(s).
