I think we're both arguing the same point really. Basically we both agree that no matter where these new birds land, the pilots deserve to be paid appropriately for flying them. I could honestly care less if they end up at regionals or majors as long as the following happens:

- New birds go to regionals; the pilots refuse to fly them without substantial pay increases.

- New birds go to mainline; the pilots refuse to fly them at reduced pay.

These planes really are bridging the gap and blurring the distinction between what should be mainline, and what should be regional. These planes are going to usher in some big changes in the industry and I hope we can all be unified enough to make sure pilots are paid appropriately for flying them and no one flies them at current regional wages.
