Now Delta asks non pilot employees to take leaves of absences to train to become pilots.

I do not have a dog in this fight (I obviously want all mainline carriers to absorb regional flying), but the E175 can easily be configured with 9F+72Y (while retaining Economy+), which is fortunately too big from a scope perspective. However, +5 seats (or +11) worth of incremental revenue would certainly pay (and then some) for the added cost of being operated by mainline flight crews, attendants, ramp, CSAs, and MX employees.
An Example:
(11*Average Ticket Value*Marginal Revenue)*(6 Flights Per Day)*365*(Average aircraft annually available for service) = HUGE Number
Very conservative inputs results in >$40M in annual incremental revenue on 25 additional aircraft.

They'd sell it in a heart beat for $100 an hour across the board.....

So please stop predicting the future.

Republic just bought 100 RJs with the option to convert them to E2’s.
Someone is betting on scope relief and I’ve yet to meet any UAL pilot willing to budge one nanometer on scope.

Republic Airways Holdings Inc. (“Republic”) announced today that it has signed a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with Brazil’s Embraer S.A. (“Embraer”) for an order of 100 E175 aircraft, with the right to convert to E175-E2 aircraft. In addition to the firm aircraft, Republic has secured purchase rights on an additional 100 aircraft. The announcement was made at the Farnborough International Airshow in Farnborough, England.

Which regional is non-union?
