[edit] Scopeliner?

The term "Scopeliner" is suspect as it only appears in a limited number of articles and a Google search reveals its only use is in this and a few related articles which are then referenced by other pages on the web.

The term sounds pejorative and while certain small airliners may have been operated with seat restrictions by airline affiliates in order to stay withing "scope clauses" of operating agreements, a search of numerous trade publications and aviation glossaries reveals that the term "Scopeliner" is not in general use, either within the industry or outside of it.

Agreed. I've removed the rants and removed the suspect distinction to bring it in line with Regional airliner, which defines them as any planes carrying 35-100 passengers. Jpatokal (talk) 07:51, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
