No mainline pilot has any farther to look, than in the mirror when another mainline pilot is furloughed.
In fact, you could work with regional pilots instead of turning your nose up at them. Or, do you think you're too good for that?
IMO, If it's a mainline paint livery on the aircraft....it should be mainline pilots operating the flight. What are YOU doing to make that happen???
Reread my second post....
As for what am I doing. Making SCOPE the number one priority of this contract. If it means burning the place down to prevent a fleet of E170s-190s at Eagle then so be it.
That is what I, and we are doing...
But don't worry, if it comes down to that I am sure thousands of pilots would line up to fly a 80 for 80.....

And stop with this mainline let the cat out of bag bulll**** anymore. Half the companies that are watching theiir company's flying farmed out had their contract and SCOPE gutted in BK. By the way how is it the Midwest airlines pilots and possibly Frontier pilots fault now? Management has and will continue to come up with creative ways to outsource flying, and as long as pilots continue to fly it for pathetic wages it will continue.
SO WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
