I actually do see what you're trying to do. You're venturing deep into sophistry in order to head fake profundity on the issue. DL pilots own the code, period. Now, does that mean we own the letters D and L and no one else can use them in the alphabet together in any context? Well gee I guess you got me there. :roll eyes:

You want to fly DL code, you must do it IAW the DALPA pilot agreement. Period. We do allow some of it to be outsourced, and IMO too much. But that is our choice.
