On the other hand I also think this is now pretty much an academic argument since we are in section 6 with DALPA in charge - thats OK with me.

If on the other hand as you say above outsourcing 4th generation jets would be a big mistake (I agree) - Do you think DALPA would be more or less aggressive resisting more outsourcing since the DPA became an issue?

So, is permitted aircraft types: inclusive of Geared turbofans and no seat limit on props (as proposed by the DALPA opener) a loosening of scope?

I say it is.
