Well, considering not a single major has passed a scope clause stating minimum pay or conditions for outsourced flying, or even that it must be outsourced to another ALPA carrier... it's pretty much the natural, and desired, end result in a system where feed flying can be shuffled around at will. Regional guys *have* tried to hold up their end of the deal at various carriers in the past - Comair, Horizon, Expressjet, ACA, Air Wisconsin, Eagle to name a few with good past contracts - and in every single instance the result was stagnation, shrinkage, loss of feed agreements, furloughs, and 8 year FOs with no hope in hell of going to Delta. The system is set up to reward those regional airlines, and their pilots, that undercut the others. It was set up that way with full knowledge and acquiescence from ALPA. It doesn't excuse those of us who took low-paying jobs from all responsibility...but you can't say the problem began and ended with us, either.

Slowplay, as an alpa apologist and defender of the status quo including the outsourcing system in place today, should be the VERY last person to dish out a low blow at someone who is a product of that system.
