Delta has always led the charge in outsourced flying. Now they give DC-9 size aircraft to express and proudly proclaim how that HELPS the fight for scope!

I guess you couldn't say "well, we wanted a raise so bad we gave up jobs again."

You will see managements plan in the long run. For a couple years you will think the protections on block hours mean something, but those will be quickly retracted once management offers you a 3% raise next time.
