Carl,
You know I love you like a brother man, but ACL has a couple of points here:
1) He would have been on board in 2001 if not for relaxed scope
2) He would have been on board in 1999 if not for the D-MEC wanting to keep RJ flying (and particularly RJ pilots) off the property
3) He would have a 1999 DOH if treated like a
ramper,
gate agent, manager, mechanic, a NWA pilot or any of the other THOUSANDS of employees Delta acquired from a variety of airlines, including the regionals.
Outsourcing did, in fact, keep him off the property. ALPA's policies of dividing our labor resulted in his not being transferred, or merged, as other employee groups were. IMHO he was, and will forever be, damaged by a loss of longevity which is the direct result of failed scope policies.
Arguing whether he, or a furloughed pilot, suffered more is pointless when we both can agree on the source of the problem and the necessary fix.
Unity = Delta flying performed by Delta pilots.
