Maybe make some progress on this before anyone starts sticking their noses up and praising themselves for doing some "pretty hard heel digging" on outsourcing.
At least 1 is major has, in 2012 DL had something like 800 RJs, now that number is 415. And mainline must do 1.88 mainline departures per RJ departure. That’s significant progress in my eyes. Again, when a BK judge gives management a blank check with the scope section of your contract, it takes time to undo that carnage. The last time the contract was changed to increase the total number of jets to be outsourced was in 2006, over half of DL’s pilots have been hired since then.
scope being a battle here doesn’t mean we can’t have an opinion of flag of Convenience schemes that could have a significant negative impact on our careers. I also know that NLH was not a foc and again am not happy or celebrating the fact they are cutting the airline
