These two guys might vote no but most of their buddies will vote it in for more $$$. Looking back at history nobody has turned down money for the greater good below them if the circumstance was right. These planes are coming, question is would they actually fly them?

Can you provide specific contracts were pilots received raises for scope concessions? In most contracts scope is settled after pay.

Horrible idea. Not one more pound. Once the more capable aircraft is operating at a sub-contractor it'll be far too easy for them to seek expanded quantity in a future downturn. If the heavier airplane is needed by network to fill a market niche it can be operated by mainline pilots. The regional hunger-games must end.

The majority of the pilots at mainline now have personally experienced the downside to relaxing scope. There were many at the time that did not think it would affect them personally, and then the furloughs came. Now they are hungry for the pilot positions and see value in people below them. That isn't just a greater good issue, it's a good for the individual issue as well.

With regional pay rising, the cost differential between an RJ operator flying a route and mainline flying it. Add in more efficient aircraft that are too heavy for scope and the costs narrow even further. A few pounds in this case is a big deal, and it could be very good for the industry overall.

I can assure you if Delta gets the ability to outsource the MRJ-90 we can kiss the 717’s goodbye when the leases are up.
