Or does that mean a DCI pilot is also a United pilot because they sometimes fly for the "United side"? If a DCI pilot flies for a, let's just say "prolific" outsource provider, can they at the same time be a Delta, United and American pilot?
The time to fix this by annointing groups with ALPA holy water are over. That ship has sailed. This is a mainline problem with a mainline solution. It can only be fixed with bringing flying in house and staffing it with new hires at the bottom of the list with DL DOH for longevity. That's just how it is.
