So why don't they? One has to assume because the demand is there. Given the existing demand, why should DAL pilots continually fly less of the market?
The underlying reason for my position is that we are supposed to be a UNION. Unions are supposed to be about protecting jobs, not outsourcing. I completely agree there has to be some reasonable flexibility in the interest of profitability and business flexibility. A 50% share seems pretty reasonable.
