Just as a friendly reminder neither Southwest or the old AirTran have regional jets whether it is a 50 seater, 70 or 76... so my thought, SDF-ATL and LEX-ATL becomes SDF-LEX-ATL in an MD88... kill the RJ industry without having to negotiate a thing.
no idea what the math comes out to be

To those of you here who have inside ties to ALPA leadership...
If you disagree with the above statements, you can do one thing to put this argument to rest... Get DALPA leadership (and ALPA national for that matter) to put out a statement clearly laying out their stance on scope. Something like this:
1. NOT ONE MORE SEAT OR FLYING JOB WILL BE PASSED FROM MAINLINE TO REGIONAL OR ANY OTHER AFFILIATE INCLUDING CODE SHARES.
2. PARALLEL TO OUR MISSION TO RESTORE PAY WE WILL BRING THE FLYING FROM REGIONALS AND CODESHARES BACK TO INDIVIDUAL MAINLINE AIRLINES.

ALPA has a mission to restore pay? While I hope that is true, I can't find much evidence of it anywhere. And it's conspicuously missing from ALPA's mission statement.

So the company comes to DALPA and says. "We would like to convert 20 of our 70 seaters allowed to 76 seaters. If you agree we have a tentative order for 100 C series jets. The switch from 70 seaters will occur in a 1 for 5 ratio. For each 5 C series jets on the property and flying we get to convert 1 70 seater to a 76 seater. The overall fleet number which is currently at XXX cannot go below the current number plus the C series slots or we lose the extra 76 seaters. If C series jets are removed from the fleet we remove the 76 seats in a inverse proportion. Deliveries of the C series will start in 6 months and we will post a bid next week.
Would you say no???

ORD to DTW being RJs only
is cool?
And, theoretically, mainline should be flying 16 times more seats hub to hub than DCI.

I don't think the discussion of "scope" keeps us from unifying.
I'm pretty sure its part of the restoration like a siamese twin.
If we get great rates but the flying leaves we can claim "victory" for restoration but all but the top 10% will feel the consequences...

I believe the group is all about recovering what was lost....plus. The company must love that any of us are even discussing the possibility of scope concession or the fear of it.
