Now just to discuss 2 things:
1. Do we know the total cost to operate a jet as DCI versus having that jet operated at mainline? Say a E175 or CRJ900. When you take into account all of the overhead expenses at DCI compared to what they'd be if insourced at Delta?
2. 10 or 20 years down the line, where are we in this industry if the trend lines with scope and the mainline as well as airlines providing outsourced flying stay the same?
Hey FTB I know you are aware we have the payscales for the CRJ900 and E190. (which are the same and shouldn't be in my opinion but thats another subject) The payscales basically put us on the same level as the 9E pilots for the 900. Our CA scales are a little lower but there fo scales are lower. I know there are many other work groups involved in the operation but as far as we are concerened no reason our pilots couldn't operate any future 900's if the payscales are in line. I mean if they want the smaller airframes for some right sizing into some markets we are all set to oblige them for the same cost as the regionals.
