There is DCI flying in LGA already, merely shifting more to LGA doesn't make it any worse than before.
(and consequently OUT of other markets that will be backfilled with something....and they are still parking 50's as fast as they can get out of the contracts!)
The fact that DAL, Inc. is going to initially replace 32-44 seat Saab and Dash-8 all-coach class flying with 66-76 seat two-class jet service is a big jump already. I would not expect a prudent manager to dump "instant money losing"124-149 seat aircraft on routes like that, would you?
When pilots start polling/surveying/voting with scope as the priority, then we will get scope as a priority. It is on the top of my list, but I refuse to get bent out of shape over something that is allowed and makes sense to do from management's perspective.
In past votes at NWA and DAL, the majority of pilots voted to allow "permitted aircraft types" in the 44-76 seat range(more for the Avro's). That's right, the MAJORITY voted to allow it to happen. Active pilots on property from 2003 and earlier were eligible to vote on those agreements.... Where was the outrage then?
Let's focus on supporting the Negotiators, keeping our MEC reps aware that they are accountable to us, putting on a VERY unified face to Mike Campbell & Richard Anderson, giving ourselves the fortitude and leverage needed for capturing scope and massively rejecting any TA that doesn't achieve that goal.

Hey, can we talk about something IMPORTANT??!!
The Packers just lost to KC...and now it's Tebow Time!
My prediction, Denver beats the Patsies, the same way KC just beat the Packers.

Actually, the "fence sitters" do more damage to unity than anyone else.

Finally after the Bucs and Giants failed, the Chiefs showed how the all mighty @&*$Packers can be beat. (die hard 49ers fan here).

Difference is that it is exponentially more grating when DALPA picks it up and parrots it.
You probably haven't been around long enough to hear this one used with frequency. However, soon you too will figure out you are climbing the burning rope courtesy of DALPA and our sub par scope section.

Sadly, I have been here long enough to see mainline jets that were constantly full into and out of Montana replaced by RJ's.
I have never seen a market that started as RJ only then become a mainline only market.
It is a myth kind of like the 100 seat jet that occasionally the company claims to want. They already had those, pay rates too, and then they got rid of them.
The idea of developing markets with RJ's is like a unicorn. It's not reality.
