I have a question for the people who know a little more about the Delta scope clause than I do.
I just heard about the interior mod that is going on and the first thought that popped into my head was that Delta is trying to get around that pesky scope language in the pilot contract. The way I understand it, Delta is already over the max number of 70+ seat aircraft. This mod gets the plane under 70 and would thus get around the language, wouldn't it? Could this be what they are doing?

Thank you for the quick answer. This is definitely one occasion that I am very happy that I was wrong.

Thanks for the info Bubba. I too was under the impression that regionals had removed seats in the past to get around SCOPE. Now I'm curious how a certificated seat number for a specific aircraft is handled when the airline wants to do a mod like this, or High Density, etc.? Does the FAA have to amend the certification? ("Wild, whacky, nutty stuff")

Aghhh I know what you mean. In a few weeks I'm going to be laid off from Kentucky Unemployment. Not looking foward to that day. Out of all the people that are on here and still on furlough, how many of you have still not flown since being laid off? I've flown maybe 5 hours in 14 months. Depressing!

Since furlough (January), I flew roughly 20-25 hours, which was a combination of General Aviation flying for currency and fun, ferry a plane or two and getting my ATP. Since furlough I’ve interviewed with Lynx, Ameriflight, Pt. 91 corporate job, SeaPort Airlines and Compass Airlines. Got turned down by Lynx, AMF and Compass. SeaPort I turned down because of the low pay and the Pt. 91 corporate job, which I was going to get, fell through because the owner ended up not getting the airplane. I’m frustrated as can be, but I’m getting pretty good at interviewing for jobs, but it would be nice if one would come with a job offer one of these days before unemployment runs out.
Boy, getting recalled by Comair is starting to look better every day...
