having once been the "victim" so to speak of a scope clause..i think they will be here to stay until either..1) the unions at the major airlines who are quite happy to take dues from regional pilots become happy to integrate seniority lists between the two pilot groups 2) the major airline managers become trustworthy people who have the best interests of their employees(and hence the company...because who builds a company) in mind....which do YOU think is likely to occur?
