I think the mainline pilots should reject flow programs all together, everyone should be off the street. Forcing people to basically work at a B scale until they flow is ridiculous, disgusting, and for all intents and purposes, a true B scale workaround, to have a true B scale.

You're saying a regional providing feed for a mainline is fine, but if there's a flow between them, suddenly it becomes disgusting?

The idea is that flow programs help staff the regionals and keep pilots there. Without a flow regionals have to pay better or maybe the jobs will go to mainline increasing the number of pilots there. What a flow really does is get pilots to accept conditions they wouldn't otherwise.

How does PSA fit in your scenario? They are in the top third in pay right now, and have SAP for lineholders.

I say drop all scope. I think it will be fun to work at southern flying United planes, or at ATI doing it. Just imagine if the majors could whipsaw acmi against each other to provide cheap lift. The majors would drastically limit their risk with less employees and planes all while having the ability to whipsaw. It’s a win win... for the airlines.
This was only meant to be sarcasm, if an airline wants to use a plane with its paint it should be on their certificate operated by their pilots and FAs.

"All regional flying should be done by mainline" -Average regional pilot
"We will never sell scope" -80% of mainline pilots
"Give us $2 an hour and we'll think about it" -top 20% seniority mainline pilots.

Not this United mainline pilot at 10 percentile on our list with 32 years of service. Our new United contract (negotiating now) will bring 76 seat flying to Mainline and will mark the beginning of the end for of the Regional industry.
