I've argued with guys also about scope. Some of them are so bent on getting newer, larger aircraft. Why? The view is the same, it's another training cycle, you will be shorting yourself pay in the bigger jet at a regional vs moving on to mainline. Management loves to hang that 'carrot' out in front of our face, and I've never understood why pilots would even care. It should be laughed off. I sincerely hope you are right Superpilot - that scope is not budged on little bit. To do so lowers this job yet another notch.
