Shows that you don't know your history very well.
What kind of aircraft were operated at Air Wisconsin and Horizon in a regional roll long before the CRJ was on the boards?
How many CRJ were on the property when Mesaba operated jet aircraft with a First Class section?
When did the Delta contract begin to restrict code-sharing?
When did the seat limitation get tightened (remember
your BAE-146's at 88 seats)?
There was no trade of scope for payrates when the CRJ showed up at CMR and SKYW. Delta was furloughing pilots when the first one flew, and that was a full 3 years after the DAL pilot contract was signed.
