Scope... It’s time?
Given what’s happening to the industry right now (mainline shrinking and soon to follow the regionals exploding growth), it’s a great time to address bottom end scope and protect some mainline jobs.
Change my mind.

It has nothing to with regional pilots, why post it here?
If mainline wants bottom end scope WE need to make that happen on our end. I would be in favor of a requirement that ALL outsourcing be shut down before ANY mainline pilots are furloughed.
If they need to keep some RJ's, they bring them to mainline for the duration.

There are probably better bang-for-buck uses of negotiating capital than RJ elimination or flow-back, although right now flow-back is looking pretty good to some folks.

Feed contracts are being shredded at the present, something about “act-of-God”.
Anythings possible, this might be the opportune time for mainline groups to capture the airplanes and flying?
One other thing that would concern me if I were at x Legacy is the LCC’s like Spirit who are going to charge full speed ahead and capture markets with the legacy draw down.
