Awesome. We've been having this stupid argument since the 90's. Care to rehash what the definition of the word is is as well? This fight is about 70 seaters Mr Lifer. As a CAL pilot I have a scope clause to prevent them from flying CAL routes. Management's best claim is that new IAH flying is codeshare. Funny, I'm pretty sure CAL has been flying to ABQ since Varney Speed Lines.

Wendy and Jay don't agree on a completely unrelated issue. CAL pilots don't expect nor need UAL help on our scope. As for the future, the simple fact is your company has peaked and I will make sure of that. I'm actually impressed by the ego of some of you career RJ types. 'It's my flying now and if you come after it I'll sue!'

Wait I take it all back. I bow at the threat of yet more pointless litigation that leads to nothing. Good luck getting your own house in order. Three RJ operators with varied luck in the last decade. Easiest whipsaw opportunity out there. The smart ones will bail win hiring spools up in a few years. You'll be stuck catching the falling knife...
