That is exactly it. I won't disagree with perspective, but that is not where our difference lies. Outsourcing, especially of that magnitude, is most definitely, by any definition a loss of jobs. It takes the organic growth that Alaska employees have earned with their customer service, sweat, and time away from family, and gives it instead to a contractor. Those are pilots that should be on the seniority list below you and not on another list entirely.
