The guys that just retired and died were screaming "no scope relief" for the last decade, and here we are. Bickering over 15 vs 17 vs 25%.
A "minor" 1-hour adjustment to the viable flight time of the CRJ-550 can be the difference of 1500 new upgrades and First Officer jobs at mainline in this decade.
Bingo. Thankfully each month hundreds of former RJ pilots become eligible to vote. None that I’ve talked to are willing to give an inch on scope.
