You lost me on this one. I would say anyone operating within the scope of our contract would be a Delta Pilot and anyone operating outside the scope of our contract would not be a DP. Essentially isn't that what scope defines?

I disagree with the "corruption of the union" comment. Case in point the RJDC lawsuit. If it really was labor law then someone would have filed suit against the union, company and whomever else they could have. That hasn't been done. Why?

As far as Jet Blue is concerned, here I'll lob this grenade , they may have all the small jet scope but haven't they "outsourced" all their big jet flying to Lufthansa via code share?
