Many ppl want pin the failures on the unions. That is where part of the blame game should start. We should have never started pitting RJ union houses against mainline. Score one for the Labor Relations teams.
We are where we are. To fix it either we need to work together.
As to a previous question, I see pay and bennies taking priority over scope restoration in this round of contracts. Next contracts when there is a 100 seat jet on mainline property we may see further maturation of the regional world.
Mainline guys will get as much pay as they can without selling a seat, pound or jet. 100 seat jets are off limits. IMO even in 1113C I do not see unions budging on this one.
