Easy, because Scope is a one way street. If we were to fall for that (Thankfully we didn't) they would have an 82 seat Scope precedent and in three years our pay rates would up for negotiating but the 82 seats would not.
Second - they were trying to get us to cave on Scope for a bigger pay raise - we didn't. How this confirms "...Delta was admitting they supplement our income via outsourcing," is beyond me.
They tried - we refused. I think while your logic is possible it is definitely a stretch.

Haha nice spin spinmeister. Saying we didn't accept 82 seaters while selling the troops on more permanent 90 seaters (with 76 seats including first class) is disingenuous at best.
NO MORE LARGE RJ'S along with real contract improvements. That would be a partial victory. Parking large and small RJ's with a large pay bump and better work rules. That would constitute a victory. Please review those definitions. Thank you.
