They do like it.

The problem has been our MEC who wanted to keep DCI separate so they could participate in the monetary gains of outsourcing. The problem is WE got what WE wanted. WE voted for it and WE made the excuses to justify what we did.

The DCI guys (the majority of them) have always wanted to be unified with mainline. We are the members of ALPA that decided it best if we did not fight for mergers. We are the members of ALPA that sold scope for bargaining credits and we are the pilots who ratified it.

Unless the DPA adopts a real appreciation for unity then they will simply repeat the mistakes of our MEC for the same reasons.

The outsourcing logic was based on sound economics. But outsourcing is uniquely a management tool. Labor made a fundamental error when they thought they found leverage by selling their own members.

( Que the apologists who will state that we just gave up scope during bankruptcy, who ignore the times contract 2000 scope was modified prior to the BK filing and who ignore the publications of the Delta and Northwest MEC. How is it that scope was always modified just in time to accept delivery of RJ's ordered years ahead of time? )
