So you’re saying the industry is getting rid of outsourced, underpaid labor in favor of using organic, in house, well-compensated labor? Sounds like a win for the industry. Except the deal hasn’t been approved yet. So, I’m guessing AA’s strategy includes shrinking NYC RJs with or without JB.

I believe the problem is that Unionized pilots are going out of their way to further degrade scope. Flying an Airbus as a regional feed is a slippery slope...especially when JB pays less than AA. This will eliminate some of the highest paying jobs in the industry for a lower B-Scale airbus regional feed.
1) JB has the tightest scope in the industry behind SWA.
2) AA’s poor scope allowed this.
3) in NYC a lot of AA regional flying, and some NB flying, was going away anyway.
4) JB’s E190 rates are higher than AA’s, and certainly higher than ENY’s E145 rates.
5) JB airbus rate goes to $275 next year, and has $13/hr redeye pay. AA is what, $278/279? Yeah...huge difference.
6) Do you even know what a B scale is? You sound like an inexperienced regional guy with not a lot of industry knowledge or experience.

So again, point to where the scope concession is?
I wish everyone the best but dividing and spewing false information isn't going to help.
