See you all when I'm back from "time out"!!!!
This is the best under/side boob I've ever seen. Well done, sir. Well done indeed. If you get "time out", it was worth it - I for one, appreciate what you've done here. Bravo. Words fail me at this point. Wow.

I never said I was happy about it. But they aren't violating scope.

The link seems to have disappeared. I have yet to hear anything official from our company. Bittersweet news if true---hopefully it doesn't result in any net gains of airframes to the outsourced side of things....

With all the 50 seaters being parked, it won't. But it will increase the number of large RJ's. We are rapidly approaching the 255 cap.

Looks like management is panicking and rushing to max out our generous scope prior to openers so the baseline is higher for them in the event our MEC/NC actually takes a touch stand on scope reversal. Good thing they are going to subsidize a pilot labor trashing company with firm orders for new larger RJ's with no place to put them just as our 9's are going away and our chief is putting his "game face" on.

From all of us at "pilot labor trashing company(s)", I hope your MEC does take a much tougher stance on scope. That goes for all Major/LCC MECs. The regional lifestyle has got to go.....
