I agree about mainline giving in on scope and the regional pilots have little choice about the subcontracting shell games that management play but they do have a say in their own contracts and they need to stand up for improvements.

Actually, they need to be renamed something else other than "regional" airlines 'cause there's nothing regional about flying MCI to LAX or MKE/MCO. Maybe we could call them Trunk Carriers......no that's been used before.
