If the 100 seat and less jets are ever flown by the "majors" or "legacies", it will be at "regional" rates....They may recapture this flying, but it will simply be at the same pay and workrules as they are currently being flown at....In addition, it will be done at the expense of any restoration to the pay and workrules of 120+ seat flying currently being done at the "majors".....Not saying it won't happen, but it won't be the nirvana that some think it will be...

How do you know Joe that they WILL be flown at regional rates? JB E190s have pretty good rates, and they are the same size as the C Series. Sounds like you're making things up again because you are mad you're a lifer at a mediocre regional airline. New airplanes means negotiated new payrates. And I don't know anyone willing to give away anymore scope. Keep dreaming.

Qatar bought more 777's. That's all they operate currently.

Incorrect. Qatar currently operates A319/320/321/330/340 and B777. Orders for many more. Freighter side has A300 and 777.

I heard Delta is in unofficial negotiaitons with the union. I heard they opened up one part of the contract and then just opened up the rest. So I am thinking Delta will offer the union a nice package to open up scope relief talks so they can farm out to the regionals the C series. I sure hope this does not happen

It just won't happen. No secret talks. Pay will come up anyway thanks to Airtran pilots getting SWA wages. Last year was hugely profitable, and another overall yearly profit expected this year too. There is no need to sell off scope.

Your career expectations will continue to get worse. If you don't already feel like a putz, you will soon.

OYS is right. No unofficial talks (the openers haven't even been given yet), and nobody wants to give away any extra scope protections. If anything, they will get tighter.

Looking at the times the posts were written, it looks like 40 minutes apart. Yeah, you aren't a genius. I am trying to write as many posts as I can so I can hit 20K by the end of this year. I don't need an alias.

Also, notice how the UAL/CAL contract hasn't been finalized, but that means the pilots haven't given in either. If UAL management wants to take full advantage of a merger, then they will get the contracts done, and the pilots want scope and pay changes. Someday you may learn how this works, oh wait, no you won't.

Oh I know how it works OYS, er Jenny, oh hell, putz good enough for you two. Wait now boss, nothing over 30 seats, oh ok, 50 seats. What now you want 70 seats, geez, what, 76 seats! OK we want our scope back this time. You mean you'll give us 30percent for 76 seats, what, 100seats. Geez that's a nice bump there boss, but 100seats, I dunno, I mean we'll lose face to those clowns on FI. Oh alright, but no more than 100 seats, ok boss? Yeah we know it works, we sure do, uh huh.
