I think JetBlue is satisfied with the E190, but the E190 was RAH's only option short of keeping the B717's which obviously wasn't going to happen. No way was BB going to keep shelling out the respectable wages for those. It was an aircraft that at the time had pretty low wages across the industry. They're a little better at JB now, but still terrible at UsAir due to BK. The E175 is a different animal, and I think management is happy with those.

The C-Series is due out several years, but the smallest configuration advertised is 110 seats for the CS100. It's able to be configured from 110-130 seats. I know a lot of guys think Legacy pilots will just sell out more scope for more $$$, but I think they're wrong. The first mistake of not taking the 50 seaters cut deep, and then bankruptcy cut deeper. Now with consolidation and mergers, guys are losing even more seniority and are realizing they'll never hit that 757 or WB left seat. You may argue that this will result in them selling more scope for more $$$, but what has happened is they have finally figured out that the higher payscales are worth SQUAT if they don't protect the seats. High wages are worthless without a place to put your butt.

UAL/CAL is going to happen IMO. I think one of the main reasons the UAL name is being kept is because of our current Commander in Chief coming from a seat in Chicago. Also, Asia is expected to provide a very large chunk of air travel over the next 15-20 years, and the UAL name is better known over there. My point being, there are big scars on the Legacy pilots of today, and the damage has run deep. Short of more bankruptcy filings, scope is staying where it's at. We may even see it tightened.
