Agreed, hopefully UA pilots reject an increase in scope. Having planes that size flown by mainline pilots is better for all of us.

Keep in mind that if Skywest is allowed to fly the aircraft for UAL they would have to cease all flying for Delta. That would incur huge financial penalties since they have agreed to abide by the Delta scope as a term of their contract. For Skywest to fly those airframes it will require a change of both Delta and UAL scope. The probability of a Delta change in scope is less than nil!

Is that at the inc level or airline level?

If it is at the airline level you can always come up with a subsidiary ..,

We got burned with that concept in the past. We have protection now from subsidiaries also.

New guys not the threat. Don't want to get furloughed. Senior guys that will get a big raise and won't have to worry about a furlough are the threat. That is the biggest demographic of pilot right now also with about 10 years left. Not to worry. Most older dudes are not the type that want to pull up the ladder. No scope relaxation will take place unless that carrot is really freaking sweat. A carrot big enough would cost the company way more than giving mainline the cs100/300.

I hope you are right but if indeed the united pilot group throws yet another generation of pilots under the proverbial bus for a few pieces of silver I suspect that every time a united pilot comes sniffing around for a jumpseat on a "regional" jet they are going to find that it is on MEL.

Doubt that. Probably more like a letter of rec request. Request granted by this scope protecting hombre.
