The problem with the TA is that it:

Engraves the Republic exemption in stone.
Pursues the ALPA national agenda rather than the Delta pilot agenda.
Ties aircraft acquisition (shiny jet) to a scope concession.

If scope is for sale why not just find out what outsourcing the whole company is worth and be done with it?

When the Company came for the 36 seaters,
I remained silent;
I was not a 36 seat pilot.

When they locked up the 50 seaters,
I remained silent;
I was not a 50 seat pilot.

When they came for the 70 seaters,
I did not speak out;
I was not a 70 seat pilot.

When they came for the 76 seaters,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a 76 seat pilot.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

Either stand up for your job, or pee it away for pennies. I hope we have a majority that see further outsourcing big RJs as a loss of strategic leverage.
