I'm not aware of any contract in which mainline pilots have negotiated a say in who is chosen to do the outsourced flying. That would be ridiculous.
I hardly think it is ridiculous. It's a contract and open to negotiation. Would it have take some forethought, yup. I suppose that is where my argument lies. The plan was not well-thought out, it will have lasting repurcussions for mainline.
