I think the issue, as some of us see it, that if you didn't know these jets running around us aren't ours then next time the issue of scope comes up will they fully appreciate where we already sit with that today? Hence our reason for bringing it up.

Anotherwords, "so whats another 25 76-seaters really?" Well if you know a CRJ-700/900 from a CRJ200/EMB145 and an EMB-170/175 from 737/319 then you (the non APC posters) notice the shear size of their fleets and the coming storm.

I think in reality scope issues abound and none are more difficult to put a finger on and more dangerous for all of us then the widebody scope issues. Some how, some way, we need to put a face to that danger.

The importance of sign reading.
