Roughly said that outsourcing of Delta flying specifically began in the 1986 contract and allowed all 70 seat or less flying to be done by other pilots but was a consequence of deregulation. Basically one sentence on scope. Continued through 1991 adding some language but still allowing 70 seat planes to be flown outside Delta. 1996 contract Section One now expanded from earlier one sentence to thirteen pages. Specific language allowing RJ-85 and BAe-146 smurf jets but limiting weights. 2000 contract was unable to remove the 70 seat provision since it had been in since 1986 with no change. Language allows increase of RJ-70's tied to growth up to 75 with weight limitation. Mentions Sunshine Operation and Song impacting contract. Section one now thirty-five pages and RJ-50's not limited at all and goes on through LOA 46 (2004), 51 (2006 in BK), and 19 (2008). 46 going to 150 70's; 51 going to 200 70's and 30 76's; and 19 going to a combination of 255 70/76's based on mainline fleet numbers. Combined number 70/76 at 224 in 2009, basically unchanged since bankruptcy (or bunkruptcy if you're in the it-didn't-have-to-happen camp) Some discussion about jobs after that, fleet mix etc... I don't have the second article as it was in the ROAR and I moved bases.
