The task of our Negotiating Committee is to get Delta pilots in those seats, performing Delta flying. Delta can buy more RJ's if it wants WITHOUT SCOPE CHANGES and fly them with mainline pilots. We should all support and encourage our Reps, Admin and Negotiators to hold the high ground against outsourcing our jobs.
I called my rep to discuss the openers, and one topic was the sort of unspeakeable concessions the company might be angling for. I asked in several different ways, and I don't remember him saying anything like the rumor above. The scope part of the conversation was focused on closing current loopholes, and restricting scope language, not loosening it.
It definitely wouldn't surprise me if the company wanting to have unlimited 76-seaters, so maybe I misunderstood something. Anyone else discuss this with their reps?
