Scope relaxation
How realistic is the possibility? Given the upcoming high rate of mandatory retirements and the high staffing happening at the regionals, especially AA WO’s. Could they do it just a little bit at a time i.e. slowly boil the frog per se?

Unions won't stand for it unless they get a LOT in return from the companies. Best you could hope for is more 70-80 seat aircraft, no way mainline pilots will let the regionals fly anything bigger than that.

except for Alaska which has no scope protection at all. As a matter of fact, their regional - QX- started out flying a DC-9, IIRC.

I stand corrected. Their first JET aircraft was a DC-9.

Horizon Air was formed in May 1981 by Milt Kuolt, and started operations on September 1, 1981, with three Fairchild F-27 aircraft.[5] Its headquarters were in an area that is now within SeaTac, Washington.[6]
Horizon Air's first route was from Yakima to Seattle and one week later, Pasco to Seattle.[7] The general offices of Horizon Air were operated out of an old house behind Sea-Tac airport. Horizon acquired Air Oregon on June 17, 1982,[8][9] after both airlines were losing hundreds of thousands of dollars monthly, in order to consolidate and reduce their operating deficit.[10]Horizon agreed to purchase Transwestern Airlines of Utah in September 1983, once again to try to reduce operating deficit of the airline.[11]
Horizon Air Fokker F28 at Oakland International Airport in 1995A single Fokker F28 Fellowship twin jet, purchased in July 1984 from an African carrier, was the first jet owned by Horizon Air (however, the first jet operated by Horizon was a wet leasedDouglas DC-9-10).[12][13]
