Here is a paragraph from an article I found today on Yahoo Aviation News. If this analyst is correct, there will be a lot more regional jet positions in the future for pilots and far less ones at the majors. Not a good thing if you are looking to eventually go to a major someday.
"The survey also showed the growing use of regional jets among major U.S. carriers. Such jets are smaller and cheaper to fly than "mainline" jets and allow the carriers to quickly respond to a change in demand for specific routes. By the end of 2004, regional jets will amount to 42% of the major carriers' fleet, up from 22% at the end of 2001, Salomon said."
42%!!!!!! If that's not outsourcing, I don't know what is. It seems to me that scope isn't working or simply isn't being enforced.
