ALFA and Slow;
I'll go with FTBs numbers - unless you show us the "real" numbers...Oh yeah, you signed a non-disclosure agreement. Put the numbers up or stay distanced from those you are supposed to represent. We already know how you chose. FTBs numbers are certainly close enough for real comparison and we all know it...so please quit saying we don't.
A vote to outsource 70 more 76 seat jets is a vote to outsource 2 more Compass sized airlines...or its also a vote to outsource 35 737-800s (based on size and economics).
The only reason to further outsource them is that DAL wants zero seniority guys in the seats to further whipsaw other companies (and us). Most of the regionals are getting kinda senior. Just talked to an ASA (expressjet) guy the other day, 11 year 76 seat Capt, made $115K last two years...and we cant fly them competitively at mainline...really?
More outsourcing, RAH carveout, Alaska loophole continued, mandated hiring of ALPA represented DCI...promises and more loopholes. Do I really need to read past section 1 to vote?
