Claiming C2012 as the reason for increased mainline flying and decreased DCI footprints is an intentional misinterpretation of the facts. The reason for the decrease in DCI footprint is the lack of qualified candidates willing to work for poverty wages as pilots leave in droves for mainline jobs. Secondly the purchase of 717s, entirely independent of C2012 increased mainline block hours at the expense of DCI.
Our line in the sand with respect to 76 seat aircraft needs to be dug down to bedrock, filled with concrete and serve as the foundation for an absolute refusal to allow any more outsourcing. Same with JV scope.
