No comment..

(Which is a joke and you know it. If it was that simple the RJs would be flown by your pilots)
- "It's OK if Norwegian outsources jobs as long as their practices don't affect my airline's market and my profit."
Well OK then.
- "I claim to hold the moral high ground over Norwegian because I dug my heels on scope."
Big deal. Take the flying back or be quiet. No trophies just for showing up. Also, see #3...
there is a huge difference between having some of your regional feed outsourced with limits on how many jets and how many seats vs outsourcing wide bodies flown with your paint job. I agree with other posters that our anger should be geared at any carrier that uses alter ego airlines.
I’d be happy to bring all flying to mainline as would most mainline pilots, however the companies were able to get the RJs outsourced in BK and unfortunately for us, there is not much that can be done to get them back in house. I think Rick is right that most current pilots have zero interest in giving up scope further, but getting the genie back in the bottle on this one is gonna be next to impossible
