Another option would be to grant regional LCA a mainline seniority number, mainline pay, maybe some schedule relief, and a bonus to stay and teach in RJ's for some period of time. Works in their favor because they can enjoy the benefits of their regional seniority while building mainline seniority for mainline pay. Could also be extended to non-LCA CA's if needed.

The pilots before us created this b scale, whip saw driven system designed to keep flying cheap at the lower level and in turn got a few extra bucks in retirement. It is time to take scope back.
Anything with jet engines that seats more than 19 people should be a mainline aircraft. Period. End of story. We should have A220s and A319s doing the short haul and regional flying with mainline pilots in those seats.
Our goal should be to let the regional system die a quick death, and move on from there! Stop trying to fix a terrible system designed to hurt pilots.

The problem is that we have all been so abused that we are trying to come up with ways to salvage the regional system. The regional system should go away completely!

The former like the status quo.
The latter don't want to waste negotiating capital on "saving the regional pilots". Also NB & WB pilots probably get some benefit by having a larger slice of the overall pilot labor pie... if they bring RJ pilots to mainline, they get paid more with better bennies which means less pie for NB/WB.

The pilots who sold scope got a better deal for themselves… screw the ones who come next
possible bringing some flying back in house might provide a similar one time boost to the mainline guys as they suddenly get 20% stapled underneath them
