Really? That's what he said? Strange, but I didn't read your quote anywhere in his interview. I'll go read it again.

You have a right to your line of thinking, but you forget that it was Capt. Moak (and his predecessors) that DID allow outsourcing to the lowest bidder. As a matter of fact, Capt. Moak has publicly stated over and over that RJ's are good for Delta Air Lines.
I believe the evidence is clear from Moak's history that what he meant was that any attempt to recapture Scope by the majors will hurt our regional brothers and will be considered "self-interests"...which will be
fought by ALPA national with its considerable resources.
