You are correct. I am generally not subjected to the patronizing comments in person, but some comments here are pretty dumb.
Anyway, I don't really see a 'war' between RJ pilot and mainline pilots. It is between a handful of outspoken idiots on both sides.
Also, I don't see a whole lot of flexibility of mainline guys on the issue of scope when I talk to them personally. I think the majority of them 'get it' when it comes to what's going on and how badly this issue has damaged the industry. Very few wish to give up further scope. We'll see what happens though in negotiations...
But when I have seen mainline guys on the right seats at J4J jobs they must know that that is their future if there is further scope erosion. Just the way it is.
