#3. We are allowing, once again, the line to be drawn further down the field, keeping momentum on the side of outsourcing.

#4. We are permitting to exist an airline within an airline that is possibly going to be over half the size of SWA-- flying our pax.

#5. We are telling the company, the other airlines, and the world that we will sell our own jobs for a few bucks today, that we are for sale, and we can be had.

#6. We are turning our backs on what is very likely the only chance we will ever collectively have industry wide to put the scope genie back in the bottle.
