Apparently everyone forgot that major airlines controlled their scope, negotiated it away and the contracts were ratified by their own membership.
As for the RJ guys taking a job flying a jet with 250 hours of experience, I don't blame them. Who of us wouldn't have taken that job? Back then ATP mins were required to get hired and I would have sure flown an RJ and built seniority towards 121 PIC that I needed to get a major job instead of flight instructing.
It is a problem WE created and it is a problem only WE can fix.

Don't be ****ed that I'm flying an RJ, tighten up your scope so I have a chance to get a job at Cactus. Stop trying to play the blame game and lets work together to get it all back. I would LOVE to fly a B1900, but that's not in the cards.

People obviously just can't help themselves.
Back on topic of USAirways....
Regarding Europe flying, out of PHL, the following cities are have their services suspended: BHX, LGW, MXP, SNN, ARN, due to not being profitable. BRU and ZRH will become seasonal.
Also, PHL to PEK route authority being given back to DOT.
Unfortunate.
