Just remember the Midwest guys and what the effects of not having solid scope mean. You can have everyones pay rate at $300 an hour but if if your jobs can be outsourced then the rest of your contract is WORTHLESS. SCOPE should be a front burner issue. Look at what UAL is trying with Air Lingus!! Its not just about the junior guys, they want to outsource your widebody flying also. Dont let it happen.
Put a permanent cap on outsourcing. Tell em they can have any size jet they want from this point forward but any additional airframe MUST have a UAL/CAL pilot at the controls. Pay rates come and go but once jobs are outsourced its next to impossible to get them back.
