How does scope relief help the company when there are no pilots training because of the low wages at the regionals? You would think supply and demand would actually give an incentive to insource (in order to be able to recruit), accept higher wages, and up-gauge.
Of course, as we go to larger and larger airplanes to compensate for higher and higher costs... oops, no, we went to LBP, and an A380 pays the same as a Maddog, so we're left fighting for "COLA Plus". Fantastic...
