The concept of outsourcing has never been okay. If I were a Delta Pilot, the debate over where to draw the line in the sand would not even be a discussion. The only idea I would even consider would be to take all the flying back and what needs to be done to accomplish that goal. The "take the whole beach" concept should be the only goal that must be accomplished at all cost.

Without being able to keep the job, why would the level of pay, work rules, and benefits even matter? Haven't we all learned enough from this yet?
