It's up to mainline drivers and your union to keep scope alive, but in this economic enviroment, not sure there's a leg to stand on. If scope is relieved, look for 190's in express colors docking at a jetbridge near you soon.
Nothing is guaranteed. Just ask the guys that left good pilot jobs at UPS, FDX, and SWA in the 1990's because they "won the lottery" and got hired at a major airline about guarantees. Perhaps you need a little more experience and the benefit of hindsight to properly gauge this industry. I am sure you would love to shortcut the system and start flying the 190 at the expense of a mainline pilot's job. In the 1980's there was alot of that going on. Only then it was called being a scab.
