It is clear that we should want to end this arrangement. It is clear that these people are in the service of the same employer that we are.
Management will resist anything that increases their costs; whether it be pilot standards, pay, or training. ALPA was founded on principle that we should have one standard of safety, we should protect pilots' seniority and longevity.
It is not jet the express pilots who should want to come to our standard, we should want them on the same standard also.
Just because it would be an ideal situation to have all flying on the list doesn't change the fact that it is in fact not done 100% by Delta Pilots.
Don't confuse desires with reality.
I do want continuous scope recapture, but I won't over-pay to fill the plate with more RJ scope than possible when there are many other things we would like from the "improvements menu".
