That's a good arguement, but is it strong enough to over come binding arbitration when all the rage is relative integration at least to some degree? DALPA can't risk one single seniority number. Not only that, what is there really to gain by doing this? And how and why is management going to agree? If its done, don't we end up with exactly the same number of allowable outsourced RJ's and large RJ's that can then be flown anywhere?
