Slow,
Kindly address whether the loss of Capital Expenditure lavished on the DCI carriers is included in ALPA's analysis of outsourcing which concludes "mainline pilots can not fly these airplanes for competitive rates."
Between ASA and Comair that is what ... 4.5 Billion? How much did NWA have in its connection operation?
All in, with two crashes, over 100 wrongful death settlements, three bankruptcies, two lawsuits and the wholesale destruction of value of company assets ... has Delta's outsourcing been a good deal?
A fair analysis of outsourcing can not be made without also considering the unexpected costs ... just as unscheduled engine removals end up in the MD88's costs eventually.
