It is not arguable that these scope "changes" over the decades have been devastating for the pilots of major airlines. Many regional pilots also think they are devastating even though they got the flying. They feel that way because they don't want to see their side of the air transport system grow at the expense of the majors.

Now some argue that this latest "change" to Delta's scope is a positive one, but I believe the facts don't support that opinion in any way. But scope changes (whether perceived as good or bad) is not the point here. The point is that ALPA does NOT discuss this topic of outsourcing/insourcing. They don't discuss it because they don't believe it. That fact alone is the single biggest factor in the growth of DPA.
