Same type IIRC

You folks who are smarter than me on scope (i.e., EVERYBODY), riddle me this: JG said during the last base visit in ATL that the scope language had to change in order to get the E190s on property. But scope has not changed...so what gives?
Methinks me knows the answer.

My $ .02

The 190 rates will be pretty close to the 717 rates.

The base and trips will determine how junior/senior it goes.

Except the fact that the 14 hour rule our union gave away to cover open time has killed whiteslips and greenslips. And to think those guys agreed to that and got nothing. Idiots.

No. The scope language requires it to be at mainline.

Basically all flying must be done by Delta pilots... with exceptions. X number of 50-76 seaters can be outsourced. X amount of flying can be done by other carriers via codeshares and JVs.

Now if they meant in order for the company to order the E190 then we had to change our scope clause to allow more outsourced flying then that's just a flat out negotiation tactic and that was blown out of the water earlier in the week.

MCO and DFW bases would be so senior nobody on the seniority list could hold it.

I'm pretty sure I would be the junior reserve...03/22/65.

A lot of this sentiment on this thread in particular seems manufactured by a select few individuals who are for their own reasons trying to feel better about themselves. I am a civilian former turboprop and RJ driver who has been treated with nothing but respect by everyone I have encountered so far at DAL. If you bring good piloting and a respectful attitude to the cockpit you will be respected here. There is no mainline conspiracy by the white male military fighter pilot mafia to marginalize the regional pilots - much of that discussion here seems to have resulted from people who took comments out of context and/or failed to read and comprehend the entire thread.

The military/civilian, North/South, Junior/Senior, disputes are entirely an internet induced "problem." That is to say there is no "problem." As with any group of 12,000+ people there are differences and opinions. The politics, religion and sex (taboo topics of polite conversation) have been some of the most interesting and entertaining debates I have had, and after every one of them we all went to work and got the job done. The respect and professionalism of this group of coworkers is tremendous. I enjoy our diversity and think it makes the group stronger.

Trying to work the word tremendous into my vocabulary. Trump is entertaining also.

Oops, what did I start now?

You do realize that most of the RJ-insulting posts on this thread were made by other RJ pilots, who were (I believe) attempting to be sarcastic, don't you? BTW, I always tip my (mandatory) hat to RJ pilots when I see them, and I call the four-stripers "Captain". :)
