I think your argument is more with AAY than with the people contracted to fly your jets to OKC. Why aren't AAY pilots tasked with ferrying Company aircraft? Seems like you've set your own precedent by not insisting Company pilots perform maintenance ferry flights. FWIW, the guys in the left seat are required by the FARs to have a current MD/DC-9 PC.

Until and unless you're actually on strike, there's no question about the morality of doing this flying. Put up a picket line and I'd agree with you. By extension, are AAY pilots doing something immoral performing daily line flying while mediation/negotiations are going on?

You can't have it both ways, Wurmy.
