I see that as the only way to increase large RJ scope. I don't see the big three giving up scope in next years section 6. AA specifically is tied to narrowbody airframes which is set to actually decrease slightly next year before going up slightly in 2020 or 21. No big changes and with oil going up it will be interesting to see what happens. it might be shifting large RJ's from one regional to the next depending if they can staff.

All we know is something needs to happen. I don’t think Republic wants to be this heavy on pilots. We have over 300 more than we did this time last year and we’re flying the same amount of airplanes. Any other regional in the position besides endeavor maybe? Lots of pilots and nowhere to put them really.
