Thousands of pilots said that over two decades ago. And damn near all of them learned the hard way. Who sent you?
It was just two short years ago that we saw 76 seaters parked at mainline gates while mainline was sending out WARN letters. You forgot about that already?

We're not losing routes to the 175. Exactly the opposite is happening. 175s are getting parked (Mesa) because there aren't enough pilots to fly them. The reason you see a 175 on a DEN-RIC turn is not because the 175 is so much cheaper to operate, its because mainline doesn't have a spare A/C. 175s will take over 50 seat routes and mainline will take over 76 seat routes. This has already been happening.

so short sighted. I don’t give an eff if they set pay scales at 1000$ per hour. If there’s no job because boneheads like this vote to relax scope, then it doesn’t matter what the job pays.

Right!! I’m with you. Just give me minimum wage, as long as work rules and scope are rock solid!! Sarcasm. I think the last guys post was a bit sarcastic too.

I truly wonder what some of these guys backgrounds are who even have the faintest receptivity to relaxing scope in any way shape or form. Can someone possibly slug it out through the regionals for any amount of time and still hold this view? Are they prior military? Corporate? On another note, turboprops aren’t coming back. Pax hate em. I hope the regional model crumbles and dies a quick death.

Let's go with a hypothetical: the other sections in the contract meet all requirements but Section 3 has a less than 10% immediate pay raise. I can guarantee that there will be huge uproar on these forums. But anyone who's read these forums for any length of time should realize that the posts on this forum do not represent the rank and file. If the inevitable forum poll on this TA comes in at or above 20%, the TA will likely pass.
