Changing metrics and rewriting the company into compliance only undermines past negotiations and sets a precedent of appeasement and distrust in managements intent to meet their obligations.

If management cedes flying to the JV partners for whatever reason they deem appropriate, (capacity restraint, revenue management, etc.) then they have made a choice to outsource. It is more efficient to operate as few flights as possible and cooperate with a foreign partner to allow access to the most sellable seats. The continual reworking of compliance is their need, not ours. The agreements they have with other business partners would not be forgiven if they were not in compliance, why should we be any different?

If they want changes to these terms, there needs to be more consideration given in the form of additional value to our contract. The continual undermining of previous "protections" is not acceptable. Immediate compliance encourages future non-compliance and weakens the value of SCOPE.

BTW the only way Delta pilots receive compensation for outsourcing is through profit sharing when those JVs make profits.
