AirTran Pilots: Outsourcing Bad for Business
"AirTran pilots, who are represented by the Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l (ALPA), have been in contract negotiations for five years and are seeking guarantees that the company will not farm out work to the lowest bidder."
Air Tran, former Value Jet pilots. You were the lowest bidder for pilot jobs in the history of the profession.

Now the low bidding you did for years, is ok when you did it, but no longer acceptable to you. Hypocrisy, double standard thinking.

I figure it's more like waking up to the realization of the harm that can be done by managements whipsawing pilot groups against each other. Good on the AirTran guys - get scope protections, and good pay rates! Call the other guys what they are - low payed and inexperienced pilots. Save your seat from outsourcing, it's that simple.

We as pilots are all at risk of screwing the pooch, however being new in the business and having been sold out by the forefathers who had given up things as scope or didn't want to fly those little jets makes us no less a professional avaitor. So Maverick next time your making a point try not to spit on your brethern from high atop you perch.

Interesting ......Ironic that you spelled "brethren" and "aviator" incorrectly.
