I was flying with a Captain today and he said something to me that is rather profound, DALPA is a Captains union, dont ever confuse that and if you need proof look at C2K. Great pay, relax scope. The pay was erased but the scope stayed relaxed.

So to all of the Captains on this board fighting for scope, thanks a million.

Second, how can the relaxation of scope ever be a good thing?

IMO, it can't under any shape or form either for us or for the majority of the regional pilots. The truth is to relax scope is to cost mainline pilots their jobs and cause regional pilots to remain in perpetual serfdom. If you fight for mainline jobs you fight for both groups, if you screw one and placate to get the necessary votes from the other in order to become ALPA national president then you screw both over.

And Satchip... hush.
