Might sound tough, but when this Company outsources half (going towards a third) of our flying ... there are jobs. Plenty of jobs. They just aren't being performed by Delta's pilots. We can fix that.
However you want to do it. All I am saying is that when this comes up there is always a backlash against senior guys flying greenslips, yet nobody ever says anything about the cellar dweller that answers his phone and flies IAs to the tune of a hundred fifty hours pay... And to set the record straight, I am a bottom feeder in my category and prolly will be for a long time.....
