By way of comparison, AMR can have 25 70 seat jets!!!! Continental can't have ANY 70 seat jets. If those numbers don't get your attention I don't what will.


Its the old "bait and switch," anytime someone brings up those numbers the typical response is "Well how many Pilots do they have on furlough?" The only problem with this comparison is that we would have similar furlough numbers were it not for all the early retirements.

An alternate comparison would be how many pilots would we be hiring if we did not outsource so many mainline jets? Now you can get pretty carried away with these hypotheticals and I think DALPA is very good at most things, but Scope protection is not one of them.
