Great post...if you don't care much about facts or understanding what you're talking about.

On that point I agree but to talk smack about the much harder working RJ guys bringing you your pax day in and day out is a move of a C Suck$&@! PUNK.
Monitor guard next time you fly and you'll have your answer.

No. The 190 is built by Embraer, so it's an RJ. The 717 is built by Douglas/Boeing, so it's a mainliner. Get your facts correct.

The superior hands of the double breasted hat adorned sky gods also wrote a Scope clause into the contract that actually prevents everything you stated after "gods". Thanks for playing though.

The manufactures nomenclature has absolutely nothing to do with who operates the airplane. Airbuses aren't flown only by Europeans, or Boeings by americans, or canadairs by canadians etc.

Scope and only scope matters. Large gauge or small gauge both need to be recaptured and maintained. If the mainline operates more airplanes it needs more pilots.

I'm sure it's absolute and unwaiverable. But, if management wants you to relax it you will. I don't think people will pace back and forth to fly RJs. If you don't relax it there is no way they're gonna budge on the rates.
Funny part of it is your pilot group getting all hot and bothered to fly these airplanes when not to long ago you scoffed at pilots flying them as substandard and beneath you.
Welcome to the RJ game RJ guys.

The real question is how will the military candidates that have Delta as their career goal carrier react when they realize that by going with Delta they will have to start out in an RJ, vs. going with UAL or AA and starting out in a Boeing or Airbus.

Boy isn't that the truth. I'm sorry but in the last few years the immature shenanigans on guard have risen to an embarrassing level. It just wasn't like that before the era of RJ punks started.

You really just don't hear unprofessional, childish, garbage like that flying across the NATs. I wonder why?

Welcome to the RJ game RJ guys.

Please explain how you know the company is not "gonna budge on the rates"

BTW, many Delta pilots flew RJ's; we know about the puppy mills.
