You need to get a life and look at the history of that outsourcing while you are at it. The majors as in pilots didn't give up that "scope " willingly. They lost battles during negotiations and particularly post 911 over those jobs. They didn't want to undermine and stagnate the bottom end of their flying. Your joyful "karma" statement is misdirected...May you rot on your E-175 forever.

Who was holding a gun to your head? Who was negotiating your contract? Who allowed themselves to be whipsawed to secure flying? Many furloughed mainline pilots didn't earn a dime flying airplanes for years while you were doing your thing. Under a decade long bankruptcy contract, yeah I suppose a regional FO made a little more than 1/3 of what I did. I was also flying around 3 times as many seats. Sorry, but I didn't feel subsidized by you at all.

Is the E-170 "737 Killer" sticker still on your flight bag?

Why it is ok for Delta Connection CRJ 900 pilots to get paid significantly less than what Delta mainline pilots would get paid to fly the same equipment?

At $500 or less round trip to Europe, they won't need hub feed to fill a Dreamliner or 737-800MAX.

Keep in mind that WOW Airlines which operates A321s between the U.S. and Europe via Iceland and they offer super cheap seats too... The low-cost revolution is here already.

Simple.

Because the Delta Connection pilots are willing to get paid significantly less than what Delta mainline pilots would get paid to fly the same equipment.

Here's a question for you...

What do you think would happen if just 20% of all regional pilots were to walk off the job for 1 year?

Nobody would notice.

We constantly change express carriers. We'd fill the void quickly with no pain.

What you're insinuating is point-to-point feed from small airports in the US to small airports in the EU, correct? How would these smaller airports process these thousands of international customers?

I think NIA would have to get a solid foot in the door at these mega-hubs to really decimate legacy international traffic. That, of course, goes against their business plan (read...higher costs).

Yes this is bad, but the entire aviation infrastructure isn't changing overnight. Hopefully the powers that be are able to adapt to the changes that the low cost revolution is forcing.

You guys are missing the real damage here. Every airline in the EU can now: Move it's tax base to ANY country, staff with pilots under ANY other country's laws. THAT is the big problem.

They're not "willing" to be paid significantly less. Comair struck and got a good contract and we all know what happened afterwards. Delta is good at keeping their regionals constantly fighting each other for the lowest cost. They have a history of shifting flying from one regional to another in a heartbeat.
