I thought you were voting against this POS. Why try to sell it? The number of 76 seat jets dramatically increase under this TA. That is a mainline jet. It doesn't feed, it replaces mainline flying. We could outsource the 88 and below flying and it also would dramatically decrease the number of RJs. That would be a colossal failure of scope, just as this POS does with large 76 seat jets. Here is a novel idea.....we fly them. The cost can be contained just as easy here as outsourcing the jets. It is not about cost but power and the weakening of our bargaining position. It serves both the company and ALPA. We will control less and less of the flying. Cracking down on scope would cause huge problems for ALPA if we were successful. We are being marginalized and you are advocating for it to continue.
