This should piss off all pilots

FROM BOMBARDIER AFTER THE C-SERIES ORDER FROM RAH.

THEY ARE OPENLY BANKING ON US CONTINUING SCOPE GIVEAWAYS. IF IT SAYS DELTA, UAL, USAIR, CAL, AA, ETC ON THE SIDE IT NEEDS
TO BE THOSE PILOTS BEHIND THE CONTROLS.

THIS IS A DIRECT ATTACK ON OUR FUTURES AND CAREERS AND NOW'S THE TIME TO SHUT SCOPE GIVEAWAYS DOWN FOR GOOD.

While the rate of
capacity reductions is expected
to slow, US mainline carriers will
continue to remove older aircraft
from their fleets. Scope clauses
will be challenged as mainline
carriers continue to look for more
optimization opportunities through
regional carrier outsourcing.

An important component of
mainline carrier crew labour
agreements are scope clauses.
These negotiated clauses define
restrictions on the type, number
and size of aircraft that may be
flown by regional airline partners.
Scope clauses are found in both
the US and Europe, but are most
restrictive in the US. Historically,
scope clauses have been a
barrier to outsourcing. However,
scope clauses are considerably
less restrictive than they were
historically, and are permitting
regional carriers to fly more
and larger regional aircraft.

It is
predicted that over the next 20
years, scopes clauses will evolve,
permitting 100-seat aircraft to be
flown by regional carriers, and
play a central role in reshaping the
makeup of the industry.

The mix of the deliveries, 5,800
turboprops and jets in total, will
be strongly influenced by mainline
carrier scope clauses as they
evolve to permit improved network
capacity optimization. On a cost
basis, regional airlines operating
large regional aircraft have proven
to be very competitive even
compared to LFCs flying larger
narrow body aircraft.

(LFC = Low Fare Carrier = Southwest)

You definately need to take this up, with bigger font, to the Delta MEC in 1993.

Republic, the new leader in the race for the bottom!! Problem is the pilots of Republic will still fly them in essence supporting the downhill slide of their own careers and behind them are a bunch of eager young pilots that don't care about making a living just how cool they look pretending like they are (making a living).

Or maybe they will be flown by guys just like you at the beginning of your career, just looking to get their foot in the door. If you want to protect the profession, start with scope clauses. When those are locked up you can start working on changing human nature.

Never mind.

 

[SMcC]

Don't blame the pilots

Thank you! It's nice to see some know their history.

I thought under DALPA CBA this aircraft is a non permitted type aircraft. If so then does Republic lose it's code share with DAL? If not, then why not?

Well first delivery isn't till 2015, lots of things can happen by then.....

But RJET is operating E190s and Airbus' too.

So what is up with DALPA?
