Yes, how many times are you going to repeat this? Just to play devils advocate, your company would fall apart at the seams and cease to exist without outsourced labor unless there is a major change in the way this industry works. Also, how much worse do you think the pathetic pay at the Majors would be without Regional labor making it so you can be at the top of the food chain? That is the little dark secret of this industry, pilot pay at the top is subsidized by the bottom. You can be clever and call all the people working below you outsourced labor but we are all doing the same job - some people got lucky and got hired at the right place at the right time or knew someone who pulled some strings. You don't really think everyone at Delta has superior piloting skills or great personalities do you?
