I agree- but it's very simple answer that is actually a very complex issue and has gotten much worse thanks to 1113c... it's a matter of how to make the return of scope practical so that mgmt will go for it. They LOVE the whipsaw. Then you have guys like I mentioned that will fight tooth and nail from their end to try to not make it happen either out of sheer spite.

Edit:
We've got very "reasonable" rates for the CRJ-900 and mega jumble rumbler at mainline, and it would be cost viable... even with actually paying FO's a livable wage. The issue is how to negotiate to management for giving up that intangible benefit of pitting all the groups against each other.

Know what I mean?
