Also we have a large contingent of our airline who only cares about $$$ and many more who think that if we made a deal like that, management would take the cuts, go to BK and gut our newly tightened scope clause.
That's not an unreasonable worry/position, but the reality is that if there are contractors doing your job cheaper, that represents a threat regardless of a potential BK or not. But, as job losses loom, scope should be prioritized IMO.
For the DL guys, its got to be frustrating for management to show up with their hands out, violating contracts while millions of dollars that went to JVs is being flushed.
