As far as what the company flies and where they fly it? It is none of my concern or responsibility. I do hope ALPA is strong enough to make sure that it is us that flies them. In the last 20 years we have not been that strong. Actually, we gave it away.
I agree about furlough protection. The only real furlough protection is our scope clause. Putting SNBs and large RJs on mainline property is the only furlough protection we could have.
We've given away scope at every opportunity, for far less than what was paid to Judas. Whatever the company's given in exchange for scope relief always disappears, but the express outsourcing remains. That needs to end.
