I dont have anything against the RJ guys either, they are just a squirrel trying to get a nut like the rest of us w-2 employees. However, I disagree with your assesment that the mainline (wholly) created the conflict of interest...the Union sealed that deal.
I don't recall having any vote to spin off Compass, Mesaba or ASA. Now the only wholly owned is getting shrunk to 44 jets. How is that good for the company or assoc. The wholly owned is the shock absorber in the system and despite previous bad blood, Comair REALLY IS a part of Delta. How is this good?
Meet and confer never caused the outsourcing, so I don't follow your logic. I'll keep an open mind, but if the DPA is claiming that it was having RJ pilots at ALPA that caused the outsourcing then that is cheap rhetoric and nothing more. The RJ guys didn't vote on our contract, we did. Delta spinning off Compass, Mesaba and ASA wasn't a union decision and neither was cutting CMR to 44 aircraft.
