Bottom line is that AA has significantly fewer RJ's (especially 70 seat+ RJ's) flying AA passengers around. I would say that their scope has been considerably more effective than ours has. And I have seen very little from our current MEC administration expressing any concern over the fact that such a HUGE percentage of our domestic product is now provided by outsourcing.
There can be many different variables that affect staffing. I think it's pretty obvious that one of the big variables affecting our pilot staffing has been outsourcing. AA... not so much. Show me definitively where that's wrong.

Riddle me this 88drivr;you are saying that we should have AA's scope with their 2000 plus furloughs ? I guess that's 1 way to handle scope,make the bottom 2000 DL pilots RJ pilots. Brilliant ! In reality scope has become a very complex issue with no simple answers except we will give no more,I think most everybody agrees on that.Good articles in the ROAR about scope and how we got to where we are and oh by the way they are factual.
