I know that's what you tried. But you are totally incorrect.

I'm not accusing you of working for lower wages...I'm telling you that you are. If you don't understand that, than we're really wasting our time here.

You go ahead and do that. I like numbers. But here's your problem: If all management was concerned about was deflecting liability, they could just farm out all their flying and aircraft out to some outside entity. As long as the airline's pilots and contract provisions went with those aircraft and flying to the new shell company, the scope clauses wouldn't be violated and the pilots salaries wouldn't change. Liability deflected. There's just one problem...liability was never the issue. Lower pilot salaries is and has always been the issue.

I've not said any such thing. Your anger and emotion at being shown the facts are making you lash out without reason. I've only said that we major pilots have made huge mistakes, and regional pilots are continuing to make mistakes by working for far less money. This action gives management their main tool to justify the continuation of outsourcing, i.e., your far lower wages. As long as outsourcing continues, your shot at a major will dwindle. I had a role in creating the problem, you have a role in the continuation of that problem.
