1 year ago if you told me this thing called “coronavirus” was going to wreck the economy, cause the industry to collapse, see a drop in TSA numbers down to 87.000 people, lockdowns, stay at home orders, quarantines, etc etc etc. You know what I would’ve said?
where did you hear that from your Flight attendant's boyfriend's step sister's cousin in law?

people might laugh. But something like this certainly isn’t impossible these days.

No, it’s not a diss. You made your point already.
As you’ve stated in your previous post history, you’re an eagle/envoy flow to AA, currently furloughed. I find it fascinating that suddenly you’re a scope hawk, how convenient. Not to mention, you continuously post wishlist thoughts on AA’a future. Anyone who makes a post that negatively affects your wishlist is essentially a moron in your book.

But yes, when someone claims with conviction that a company they do not work for will relax a bedrock job security measure, I take notice. In this case, I am talking about it amongst several other people who are also talking about scope. Guess that’s against your rules?

I am not a flow through, and I am not furloughed.

What I care about is that we are (trying to have) a conversation about bankruptcy here at AA, while I see e170s flying between hubs and I was out of a job and probably will be out of a job in a few months. And those guys flying the jets talking about how great it is they are seeing new cities without having a clue what they’re really saying. So forgive me for saying not only do I not care about what Skywest and envoy think of themselves, I really don’t want to have to read through it on an AA forum. No disrespect but take it elsewhere

The last round of relaxation (2000-2009) was the result of airlines racing to reduce capacity following 9/11 without giving up market presence. In other words, it wasn't driven by the economics of flying regional jets. That was also a time of massive consolidation and multiple bankruptcies. We haven't seen any of that today. The last time United negotiated with scope, they got a 23% raise followed by two 4.7% raises. The precedent on the price of scope has been set, and it comes at a very very steep price. Besides, I am not sure scope has ever been touched in chapter 11. I don't see why it would make sense to do it now either.
Giving up scope means admitting that domestic pilots are overpaid, enjoy too high a quality of life, and have work rules that are too good for what they do.
The quote you brought from another thread was after you came to an AA thread talking about how great the 170 is, so yeah no one was interested. Not sure where you are reading me calling anyone a moron either.
