If you are using your "scope was sold" argument as your marking your words point, you might want to review how CH 11 went down for the UAL pilots. Here were the options; 1) accept the crappy scope clause we got. 2) turn down the contract, and risk the judge rubber stamping an 1113c contract that had ZERO scope in it. What would you have done? Try getting NO scope back in the bag!
We will see, but your assessment of UAL pilots is, well, wrong.
I don't disagree. My comments were mostly referring to DALPA, who sold scope long before any bankruptcies were even on the horizon.
You guys at CAL/UAL MAY hold the line at 50, but I doubt it. More than likely, you'll allow a limited number of 70 in exchange for concessions from management.
But mark my words, you will NOT eliminate all brand RJ flying.
