Gains in widebody flying do not justify this. If they did, we could just give most of the east coast to JB and grow our widebody flying. Outsource the midwest to SWA and grow widebody flying.

By that logic, we could/should give away all scope smaller than an ER if management will agree to grow our widebody flying, right? Would you seriously go for that?

When are we going to stop falling for this "outsourcing small planes gets us more big plane jobs" nonsense? We need significantly superior scope at all levels and significantly less outsourcing.
