Not really. Mainline did not "agree with management to outsource CRJ jobs"...the jobs and pilots were already in place at Comair when they started transitioning from props to jets...in my opinion ALPA missed the boat completely in not understanding the potential impact of the RJ and its been the dilemma of "the horse already out of the barn" problem....mainline has not agreed to outsource as much as they have been mostly ineffectual in stemming the loss of jobs through scope.Originally Posted by Lighteningspeed
Mainline pilots did not agree directly to keep the pilot group separate but by agreeing with the management to outsource CRJ jobs to various regionals, the senior pilot groups at respective major airlines such as UAL, DAL, AA have in effect created a separate pilot roster.
