The "in depth" study did not include investment losses, cap ex write offs, crashes, additional managerial expenses or the cost borne by mainline (ie redundant management structure). The study also did not include DIP financing, the cost of litigation (Skywest & Mesa) and the cost of walking business to our competitors.
While I understand methodology which excludes "unexpected" costs, these are real costs of outsourcing none the less.
The political choice we make is to NOT rub management's nose in these "unexpected costs." Instead our political slant is to justify outsourcing.
Delta's outsourcing looks good on paper from a short term perspective. The longer view would reveal it has been a disaster for both labor and Delta, Inc.

If I have CQ will those be counted towards my 18 days on duty?
