That's because ALPA doesn't believe it IS outsourcing due to the fact that it's just transferring from one ALPA group to another ALPA group. Lately, some of the transferring is going to non-ALPA groups...and ALPA is still 100% silent.
If you think I'm "exaggerating for effect", then please prove me wrong. Show me one document or transcript of discussion where ALPA ever mentions outsourcing or an attempt to insource. I try to keep up, but maybe I missed it.

How about one from recent times (to ensure it occurred post merger) which is easy to find. Negotiator's Notepad 12-05. It specifically discussed reducing flying at DCI by 148 airframes and ultimately leaving the DCI fleet with 5,580 fewer seats flying around. I personally don't like that a larger chunk of what DCI has left after the music stops is comprised of 76-seaters, but I can not deny the fact that DCI will be doing less of our lift than they were before. That means less outsourcing to me.
