If the contracts are "at risk" they will be self modifying.
You have asked the right questions. ALPA should have copies of those agreements and be evaluating them. Otherwise our C2012 pay rates will be effected by the 30+ Billion in obligations to carriers who perform our outsourced flying.

DAL will not be paying for flying they cannot perform.
Does the fact that DAL is paying of debt very very quickly now make more sense to a lot of ppl?

The problem is the math would invalidate the outsourcing model that drives a lot of ALPA's politics.
We should have re run the numbers at every concessionary contract and every management restructuring of the company. We should consider this sort of economic analysis "runway change items" and re run them every time we are launched in a new direction.

Bar;
As we can probably assume they have been run.
It is not just about the cost of the operation but what it is being sold to us for. I know we disagree on this, but history is speckled with purchase that were made way above marker value because one party wanted to buy more than one wanted to sell.

Your assertion that "the math would invalidate the outsourcing model" is flat wrong. Wishing something to be true doesn't make it so.

The reason we go round and round is because I assume "no action" means "no action." As always, I encourage you to shut me up with objective data.
I am told:
- ALPA has not requested, does not have, and has not evaluated the contracts for outsourced flying

Slow, your mindset appears to be consistent with the mindset of our management. In other words, our management seems to look at everything from a pure "numbers" standpoint. Business is not that simple. The numbers do not always tell the whole story. There are more things to consider.

You completely ignore your "power" in this problem. You took the job, and continue to work for wages that are badly damaging our profession.
If you want a job at a major, you definitely do not have the job for the right reasons - which I'm sure is now obvious to you. If you don't ever want to join a major, then it's a little more understandable.
Here's the problem. When you took that job, you are only ensuring that you stay there forever because you are diluting the chance for that Delta seat.
I hope that after reading this, you'll understand there is a lot more that you and regional pilots could do.

If you really want to be truthful, you could say that those pilots that were willing to Fly at Delta Express for less pay than that of mainline proved what wages the mainline pilots were willing to accept. Alas, we are about that that level.

I've heard the argument that regional pilots by accepting a job at their respective companies are hurting the profession. However, I don't know if that is a valid argument to make in light of what has happened in this industry. I mean, you can take this argument right to the mainline. I've seen the compensation packages of pilots at the mainline and I can tell you there is a huge discrepancy between pilots who have a frozen pension fund and those that don't. Since the company is paying into the pension fund this is part of the total compensation of the more senior pilot. Is the junior mainline pilot, by accepting a job at mainline with significantly lowered benefits in comparison to the more senior pilot, also hurting the profession?
No!!!!!!!!!
