The evolution of US regional scope clauses, Issue 32 Dec 2003/Jan 2004
Issue 32 Dec 2003/Jan 2004
Orders for the ERJ-170 & ERJ-190 by USAirways jetBlue and the financial
restructuring of several major US carriers may have given the impression
that pilot union scope clauses would be relaxed, giving way to new orders
for large regional jets. The opposite has happened, and majors are the
likely future operators of 70-100 seat regional jets.
