As long as others were furloughing the MEC CC response to AS scope was "you should be happy to have a job, others are furloughing"
With others recalling/hiring, the question is what happens now at Delta?
What will be the new "response" to AS scope?
Looking downrange, further airline industry consolidation is inevitable.
Where does that leave Delta pilots at the SLI table?
The RJs were bad enough and lucky for us self correcting with current fuel prices. The AS feed is just like the RJs but with bigger jets and fewer restrictions.
Bottom line:
Delta pilots should fly the feed for Delta international flying.

I just see this as another example that the mec is looking out for the company (mgmt)'s needs over the pilots they represent. We need them to work on our behalf to do OUR own flying and stop this idea of just codesharing (aka outsourcing) flying that we could be doing with Delta pilots.
