Who the heck cares when it is reduced by 50-75%? What is the point, it will never be the same.
What I sense here is a "spoiled" group who are sensing the party is over. Sorry to sound harsh but there are A LOT of nervous sounding RJ drivers in this thread. Good news is the majors will be hiring in droves, submit an application and come on over!

Spot on. Scope is no longer for sale, period. The mainline MEC's know that any scope giveback whether actual or perceived will result in all out mutiny.
Captain Tony needs to polish the resume because the days of the "barbie jet" bubble have come and gone. (partly TIC considering his reaction to the term earlier. I can't believe he hasn't heard the term before...)
It's not pulling up the ladder... it's only pulling up the ladder on the ones that have put a glass ceiling over themselves and parked at outsourced feeders for a career, which is never the way it was intended. The wages are half what they should be and that has to stop. I intend on doing everything I can during my career to increase the amount of mainline, top end jobs.
