I'd also vote no. There is no way in the world of economics the benefits of outsourcing another large RJ would in and of itself justify a 777. If we agreed to something like that, it would only be because the company was getting them anyway and bribed us with our own flying to give up more of our own scope.

And that's best case, assuming all the 777's were truly permanent "growth" airframes and not future 747 replacements, 787 delivery conversions or future ER replacements on a 2 for 3 basis that would not be in our favor.

I'm sure management and DALPA are huevos deep into the "now that we've established what you are, let's talk price" mentality. So to that I say for every new 76 seat RJ we allow to outsource, every pilot gets ten million dollars cash. That's our price. Don't want to pay it, well, what was it again that the little kitty said when the nipple ran dry?
