The "hardships" are exactly th current generation's version of "B" scale, just ALPA managed to "outsource" it. I disagree with th "outsourcing" term, they are ALPA pilots, flying FAR 121 planes; it's not as if DL hired non-union Indians to fly Soviet-era planes. RJs are flown by Americans, holding American licenses, under American management, at American-owned airlines. If that is outsourcing what is GM's cars built in South Korea?
