I don't think I've ever been more upset about scope than the one yesterday. ALPA will not even admit there's a problem. They keep pointing out that overall DCI jets are decreasing. What's scary to me is that replacing 50 seaters with 70-76 seaters is worse than ordering more 50 seaters, and ALPA keeps pointing out that we are winning the scope battle. We have 4 hour flights across the country being flown by these planes that Delta just ordered more of.
