OK, so the zero gave us a pretty good run for our money in WW2. But post WW2 you don't hear much about mitsubishi aircraft other than a lot of MU-2 crashes. Maybe it's unfair that the MU-2 got a bad wrap, but the thing is a death trap when pilots are flying it without special training and currency requirements that other small turbo props simply do not have. The MRJ is the first jet, and fist plane in decades.

We would all hope. The fact remains that a majority of the voters are the same exact people that voted for scope concessions in the past. And a majority of pilots haven't worked for the 'modern' regionals... They either came up through the traditional tprop commuters, or came from the military and have never touched an RJ in their life, and do not know how vastly different regional carriers are from their own airline. In the past these people sold us down river, and I don't see them standing up for the industry when a carrot benefiting them financially is being dangled in front of them. That carrot may need to be bigger than it was in the past, but their votes have been bought in the past, and they can be bought again.

Any of our brethren over at Skywest or Trans States have any idea or speculation as to what's going to go down with the MRJ orders. It's highly doubtful that mainline pilots will relax scope and the deliveries are set to start in the next couple of years. I think personally they should be flown by mainline, the less jumbo RJ's the better. Thoughts?

SkyWest = A regional airline in my eyes as it does for most who work here. That doesn't mean I'm not happy with the time I've spent here, but it is the reality.

and nod back. Even mainline pilots are closer to 1/2.
I see it as insecurity or immaturity certainly not pride.

We (pilots) do not want to dump the 190. This is a management decision. Something has to replace the flying though. The 319 is used for this flying as well. We don't retire them until the end of 2019 so I hope we see a replacement at mainline by then. I would think by now we have learned our lesson with scope.
