DC7C,

Don't see how the RJ guys are responsible. They never voted on our outsourcing ... we did.

Expecting a pilot to refuse a job won't work, never has. We formed a union so we could negotiate protections for our senior pilots longevity and seniority. In the last fifteen years we have voted for contracts which have undone much of our predecessor's effort.

As far as "self righteous BS" goes, the Republic guys have done an excellent job controlling their scope. They have one list which spans multiple certificates. A technique ALPA would do well to emulate, IMHO.

No disrespect intended. But, you and I hold the power to fix this problem more than the Republic of F9 pilots do.
