I am still waiting for you to tell me how it's my fault the legacy carriers unions gave up their scope to protect their widebody rates. Please tell me, I'm dying to know what I could've done about this while I was sitting in English 101 as a freshman. I don't recall being a voting member of any seniority list that had the opportunity to vote down the ****ty legacy contracts with the expanded scope. In fact I would bet that very few RJ pilots were on any of those seniority lists. The bottom line is, ALPA and their counterparts at other airlines, decided it was more important to protect the pay of the top of the seniority list, than the jobs of the junior guys. They also years ago failed to recognize the benefit of RJ's, and for all practical purposes refused to accept them in the industry, and refused to fly them. This is their own poor judgement, and now they want to ***** about it. I refuse to conceed that the state of the industry has anything to do with RJ pilots, and everything to do with the priorities set forth by the legacy management and unions.
