Oh, I just noticed I glossed over that last question. Sorry.

Actually, I think our ALPA lawyers have already done a pretty good job of "tanking our scope clause", wouldn't you say? We've had loopholes Carl could fly his 747-400 through!

But to answer your question. I'm not talking about further "tanking" our existing scope. I'm talking about improving our scope and reversing the outsourcing. If we begin bringing flying back to Delta (and away from the regionals), then those guys will need fewer pilots. The guys who have decided they want to stay at the regionals are really screwed. And a lot of the junior guys, while I'm sure they will be glad to see more hiring at mainline, would be furloughed... i.e. unemployed without a paycheck. So what's an attorney to do? Help us reverse outsourcing and screw over some of the regional pilots he represents? Or try to keep things on a pretty even keel so nobody benefits any further at the expense of anybody else? Tough choice... for an ethical attorney.
