"CAL will release scope"..............what are you talking about? Do you know how that works? If you think that this is not on the radar at CAL and somehow the pilots would give in to scope relief you have got things very confused.
There will be no scope relief. You CHQ guys need to get a grasp of that concept. Scope relief has not even been discussed as an option nor has CAL mgt approached the CAL pilot group to request relief.
Aint gonna happen. CHQ my indeed be flying CAL brand for years to come, I could care less, it just wont be in anything larger than 50 seat jets. The CAL pilot were burned so severely last time around with RJ's its a huge issue there. Not a single pilot I know at CAL wants anything to do with more RJ's or SJ's...............
