Carl,

So you want a regional pilot to take a stand and walk of his job because your brethren forgot to bargin for scope. (or better yet, negotiated for something else instead. Think better widebody pay or that great no furlough clause) Oh, when the regional pilot stands up, his airline is just passed over on the next round of bidding for the express contract and the flying goes to the next carrier. If you want to protect mainline jobs, then mainline pilots need to wake up and look in the mirror. You'll find the problem there.
