Once again your focus is in the wrong place. You should be asking yourself how did we as a pilot group miss the opportunity to take this flying back. These eight aircraft could have been 100 more people under you, which means more job security and faster upgrades. Instead you once again focus on old 50 seaters going away which were going to go away no matter what. The date they would be going away was known the day they were bought and you are using this to tell yourself everything will be alright? How about some, or any tightening of scope. Take away 1 big RJ, do anything to get the ball moving in the right direction and show your seriousness in at least trying to tighten scope. That was my point, the missed opportunity.
