When it comes to Step 2, how do you overcome two things:
A) A Delta management BOD, et.al., who know outsourcing holds down crew costs, and
B) A lifer on the regional side that would sue ALPA if outsourcing was eliminated.
In the real world, Step 2 would have been CMR5191 and CJC3407. Unfortunately we aren't in the real world, we're in Roger Cohen's world.
Not trying to start a regional vs mainline pilot skills debate.
