Lets put this in perspective. These are for the most part guys who took advantage of the DCI growth and got hired on with the regionals.
Now that they have their hours and are ready to move on to the majors outsourcing is bad and it is clearly the fault of "greedy" DAL Pilots "selling" Scope at every opportunity.
What is more selfish then the Regional Pilot who votes yes for outsourcing by taking the job in the first place and then as soon as he is ready to move to the majors bemoans the whole practice. Talk about raising the ladder behind you.

Scoop,
More to the point, the "regional" guys are complaining that the jobs that were clearly mainline jobs are gone. They had no say in the matter.
By outsourcing, we have made entry level positions as much of a career as there is to be had. By breaking our definition of alter ego, we have left their world a place of brutal competition with no where else to go (except the expat life or backwards.)
We did the right thing (generally) with C2012. It is in our mutual interest to see Delta hire as flying is transferred back.
