Yeah, why don't you look at UAL's and UsAir's and then come talk to us.
And CAL's scope isn't doing them that much good, as they're seeing 737 routes replaced with Q400's. DAL's scope prevent's large T-Props in addition to limiting large RJ's. CAL's scope just says any JET over 50 seats will be flown by CAL pilots.
True it could be worse for them, but the lack of T-Prop restrictions has certainly hurt them too.

With two hours to go before the bid closes, there's nothing left to do now but start my "Please Lord, don't let me get displaced" Dance for Good Luck.....I grant you it's not pretty, but it's worked the last couple of bids.

United Flight Makes Emergency Landing in D.C. After Fire in Cockpit
Associated Press
A United Airlines flight from New York made an emergency landing on Sunday at Dulles Airport after a fire broke out in the jet's cockpit.
CHANTILLY, Va. -- A United Airlines flight from New York made an emergency landing outside Washington after a fire broke out in the plane's cockpit, a spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration said.
The fire aboard the Boeing 757 was extinguished before the plane landed Sunday night and no injuries were reported, FAA spokeswoman Holly Baker said.
United Airlines spokesman Mike Trevino said the plane took off from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport bound for Los Angeles and was diverted to Dulles International Airport, where it landed at 9:36 p.m. All 105 passengers and seven crew members got off safely, Trevino said. He did not have any other details.
Baker said the FAA was investigating the incident but to her knowledge, there was no criminal activity involved.
Passenger Phil Lobel, who has a public relations business in Los Angeles, told The Associated Press that about 30 minutes into the flight he detected an electrical burning smell.
He said flight attendants began going over emergency instructions with passengers in the exit rows and someone brought up a fire extinguisher from the back of the plane to the cockpit.
Lobel said the plane landed within about 20 minutes, and a half-dozen or more emergency vehicles met the aircraft in Virginia.
Afterward, Lobel said passengers who had seats in the front of the plane showed him photographs they took of flames in the cockpit. Some of the passengers on the flight were celebrities, he said.
About an hour after the plane landed, Lobel received an e-mail from United apologizing for the "experience" he had on the flight.

And nothing would probably do that job better than a 70+ seat turboprop. Surprised none of the DCI's are clamouring to do what seems to be working well out of EWR between Continental and Porter.
I wonder if the answer is used A319s as the DC9s leave?
The A319 never gets any photo love on here.

Anyone notice how FTB is not putting out a friendly reminder to get your AE bid in? Guess he's really trying to protect that ATL M88 B seat. That has to be it. We know he's not flying. 
C'mon FTB. Where's the reminder?
