Regardless if the company hired the workers themselves, or an outside contractor to provide the workers, the end result was the same.... and how they got there is SIGNIFICANTLY different than how the other regionals obtained their flying.

There was no scope agreement to outsource all flying except for the staff for nine airplanes.
