Yes, the Delta pilots could negotiate with Delta to kill outsourcing. But, frankly, your scope negotiations have been more effective than ours. Management is complying with yours; ours not so much.

Question: Since your contract and our contract is now with the same management, is it proper to use the term "our management" ? Certainly at the level these decisions are made, it is the same people calling the shots.
ALPA would never survive a regional - mainline merger. Management knows this, that's why scope recapture will always be on their terms, not ours. Why do you think the bridge agreement requires us to be ALPA? ALPA didn't put that in there, management did. It was to ensure we could never shack up under our terms.
