What would be some of the advantages from management's point of view were this to occur? I really can't think of too many. Payroll would go up, training costs would increase (having to train new captains since none of the current CP captains would be able to hold it anymore). If I understand the DAL scope language correctly since it would increase the size of the mainline fleet mgmt could then put more Rjs at DCI. Without a major re-write of the scope language this doesn't do much for the pilot group at mainline or those hoping to make it on the list someday. We already have flow down rights to CP so having more job security isn't a valid argument (granted the pay would be better having those aircraft at DAL vs CP). If somehow mgmt would agree to modifying the scope language and putting these airplanes at mainline, great. That, however, doesn't seem to likely to happen.
