DALPA (assuming you're right and don't have a reason to believe you're not) did get ASA to get rid of those... cough... SIX... cough... Avro's out of here! That's a great start, a decade and a half ago I believe? It's a great trend. At this rate, if you got rid of 6 more 70+ seaters this year we should be rid of them all by... 2611.

Now I may golf clap, but you can chest bump Carl over it:



But all kidding aside, do you realize we want less outsourcing right? We want 70+ seaters here or gone. We just want to confirm that's DALPA's mission - even iif it's a tide that does not life all boats which would be ALPA's mission. Sigh, I guess I just see ALPA as having a mission for increased head count, not a better industry for the pilots who pay the bills.

I mean think of the jobs we could have here? We could have E-Jets and CRJ900s running around on this side of the fence. We could hire so many people! Or park them and start using the 88s more effectively, with point-to-point service.



That's a good thing, I thought, ending outsourcing and bring it in house. So was getting the best contract plus best pay possible.

I just want you to get repaid for all that you gave up slow over the last decade without giving up an inch anywhere, if anything, gaining everywhere.

That's why I support the DPA.
I also believe that if we the DAL pilots tell the MEC to take a stand on scope in the contract survey, they will take that stand as soon as late fall.
