This may sound crazy, but it has happened in many other industries and it could very well happen to ours. Anyone share this fear?

Wow, what are you smoking? ALPA will never allow that.

I don't see it happening. Plus I believe major scope is going to be tightened in the next contracts.

Colgan has already put into place a scope clause prohibiting the use of aircraft with more than 5 pax seats.

Okay, I kid, I kid :)
