Make scope limits something like 15000 seat miles. That would mean a regional could fly a Saab 440 miles (34*440=1500), a 50 seat jet 300 miles, a 70 seat Q400 210 miles.
Heck, we could even have a regional flying an A380, but the only route would be the LGA to JFK shuttle.

Just for perspective, is anyone familiar with how airlines in other parts of the world set up their scope? I'm unfamiliar what airlines like British Airways, Qantas, or Lufthansa have in place.

Taking this out of context like you have is pure idiocy. I guess I have to spell it out for you and maybe some others. In regard to the ethics of hiring on right now, all regionals are the same. They're all bad for the industry. To blame one is pure hypocrisy.

Failure to Communicate
Like the "overzealous" moderator who shut down the last GoJet thread said, "If you can come up with something to actually discuss with regards to the subject then feel free to start a thread, but a pointless post like this isn't going to cut it." And since you ain't got nothing useful to add at this time, this thread serves no purpose.

Actually, not all regionals are the same.
There are some regionals which provide connection to a mainline in aircraft the mainline could not afford to support: light twin and turbo prop operators.
Then there are some regoionals which have both augmented and eroded mainline operations: the RJ operators.
Then there is a third group of regionals which circumvent all mainlines, regionals, and unions......

The gojet guys don't see what they're doing to the industry. All they can see is the pretty CRJ-700 that they're being underpaid to fly.
