That's a great talking point, but the question is "how?" Delta management finds these deals with regional carriers to be great business arrangements. Why would they negotiate away their ability to outsource? Under the law, scope is a permissive subject of bargaining. That means that management doesn't have to bargain over it unless they want to, and the NMB isn't permitted to release you to strike over it. That's the law. So, how do you bring management to the table to bargain over eliminating their outsourcing flexibility? Since they aren't required to even talk about it, you'll have to offer them something that they deem of value in order to get them to agree. That means your dreams of "full restoration" of your pay rates would probably have to go. Are you willing to make that trade to recapture your flying? If not, what is your plan to accomplish your goal? I'd love to hear your ideas, rather than just talking points.
