Q400 is a true regional aircraft. Doubt you'll see it going EWR-ATL and stuff like that...

IMO scope is going to get tighter as time goes on.
You will see plenty of 70-seaters and some 76-seaters in the Delta system, but the 50-seaters are just going to start to go away. It's all about seat/mile costs, not payroll. We finally have a management that gets that.

Exactly. I doubt Staplegun, Doug, and the rest of the Southernjets/NWA pilots would vote in any new contract that loosened scope to 120 seats.
The 7 900s Comair were supposed to get has all of a sudden been yanked with no new carrier announced. That could be a sign they are heading to Southernjets.
