Less / smaller RJs means potentially more jets at mainline. More jets means more pilots. More pilots means you get to bring those furloughs back (and do some hiring) and that all the pilots on the list enjoy a higher percentage on the seniority list. That means the option of better QOL, or being able to bid better paying seats or equipment.

I'm sure most everyone knows that, but its good to remind those few who don't think scope affects them at all since they're senior enough that they don't have to worry about losing their jobs over it. Bringing back scope helps EVERYONE. It could put you in that captain seat or in that widebody seat. Or get you off reserve. All those could result in some pretty big QOL or pay increases that you're not even directly negotiating for.
