Second, JCBA that makes us all say great. Third, SLI that is best for all. Arbitrator will decide this I think.
Regionals have no direct input to this merger; this is not your battle. As a 10000+ pilot group, we do and we need to crush scope creep and get a great contract.
God, you are a pompous bastard, aren't you! Not our battle?! YOU may have come up through the military, but the majority of current and future newhires at the major airlines come up through the regionals, so any discussion or debate about maintaining scope (or not, as has predominantly been the case) at the mainline level most certainly pertains to us as it is OUR future you are talking about here! A vast majority of us have been screwed by decisions made at mainline to relax scope and fully support your efforts to take back flying, but to tell me I cannot speak since I'm a regional pilot, well...
Get off it buddy, its not just all about you!
