Managements job is to hold the bottom line and if that means replacing mainline routes with cheaper RJs and furloughing pilots to keep the profits flowing and shareholders happy they won’t hesitate. History will repeat itself.

You guys are so quick to want mainline to give you all flying as if it's good for you. Maybe if you spend your whole career at Republic, then sure. Be a sell out.
But I don't think that's what you want. I also don't think you've been in this industry very long at all if you think mainline flying going to the regionals is good, and AA management can unilaterally alter scope clauses. And you're here cheering it on! Absolutely insanity.
LOL indeed my friend.

8-10% reduction in April over previously planned flying. Pairings to be rebuilt. Bids delayed.
In all honesty this will help us make it through the summer schedule with our current staffing but of course will hurt us if the “pandemic” continues into the summer.

Do any of the major scope sections have a Force majeure clause associated?

Unless your current job is horrible, then my opinion is to just stick it out and wait for this to blow over. I’d rather have some type of income than none at all.
