Sadly mainline will maintain the status quo on scope and hope the shortage does their work for them. I don't blame current mainline guys, but I do blame the ones who voted for scope erosion in the 80's and 90's. Once that Pandora's box opened, it's nearly impossible to go back. We can blame a lack of unity among pilots now, ALPA, or management, but it would've been nice if future pilots were never sold out to begin with.
Or maybe we could blame American for the first B-scale. Or maybe even the proponents of Deregulation. In any event, cat's out if the bag now, and it's hard to hold the line if there's a single weak link among the pilots. I guess what I'm saying is I'm in favor of union thugs.

I took the job here to live in base. If that's not the mother of all reasons to pick an airline, I don't know what is. Yes, our contract is bad. I didn't vote it in or have a hand in any of the events that precipitated it. I'm voting no on the new TA along with 90% of the pilot group here. And in spite of our contract, we haven't maliciously underbid any other pilot group. Our regional isn't great but whose is? I'm trying to leave this one and the industry itself better than how I found it. Maybe that's an exercise in futility.
