A word about scope, if I may. Giving any airline scope relief will result in a substantial amount of flying being whipsawed among the Mesas and Republics of the world, and will not result in keeping any junior pilots on the property. Do not delude yourself into thinking that "just a little" scope relief will save your job. It will not. Junior guys & gals will, at best, be offered a seat on an RJ/EMB170/190 flown by a low-bid small-jet-provider--maybe with recall rights to your old airline, someday. As the bean-counters and lawyers ruining this business strive for ever cheaper pizza, they will always try to farm out marginally profitable flying (which describes most domestic routes these days) to the lowest bidder. This will continue as long as the flying public prefers $99 fares to paying for a safe airline operation. Unless, or course, a prominent politician or a famous "journalist" should die in an accident. Then things will change.
Meanwhile, save you job the right way: NO SCOPE RELIEF EVER!
