So yes even with the 175E2, you will still fly an aircraft with a greater amount of seats for the same b scale pay if scope caved. Just even more shinier for the new hires.
So yes, there’s still a push to be operating these aircraft even if only at 76 seats.

That’s a pipe dream for the regional pilots hoping for relaxed scope so they can fly a shinier jet.

But, I don’t think anyone cares if they fly a E2 or a 175. I’ve literally never heard a single pilot say “I want scope relaxed so I can fly a E2.” Lol

Saying we THINK it will be is different than saying we WANT it to be.

I honestly don’t know where this groupthink that scope is going to be relaxed is coming from. Scope was taken away by force after 9-11 under threat of bankruptcy liquidation. Most regional pilots flying today were toddlers when 9-11 happened and really have no clue what an absolutely surreal environment existed during the immediate aftermath.
