The main purpose of the scope clauses aren’t designed for the good times. They are there to protect us when things are bad. I honestly think that the SkyWest people on here arguing that we are losing money limiting the CRJ-550s aren’t wrong right now. Where they are being shortsighted is what happens 2 or 3 or 5 years from now when there’s a serious recession​​​​​.

Right now, there’s more demand than we can handle so we might be losing out not using RJs more. I’ll trade the $100-200 in profit sharing I’m losing out on now to protect me (and my brethren) in the next downturn when the company suddenly can’t fill seats and is looking for ways to cut costs.
