Yeah, Umm, I don't think that's going to happen unfortunately. There will always be a percentage outsourced. The trick is to reduce that percentage as the 50s are retired, and to not allow the outsourcing of larger aircraft.

That's pretty much my point. There is a path to this, but DALPA is not interested in taking that path. This is precisely how they got us all into this mess to begin with.

As a member of DALPA I have to disagree with your take on DALPA's approach. While it is true that it was short sightedness on their part that got us to this point, the members respsonsible are no longer here. What we do have is positions within the LECs being taken over by those that have been labeled, "Scope Hawks." It isn't business as usual anymore.

Just remember, all management has to do is threaten the senior guys (like shrinking the heavy fleet... hmmm JAL?) and DALPA will fall in line, I promise you.

just a point to think about.... ASA "Atlantic Southeast Airlines" flew many of the routes they fly today when they were independently owned and simply provided feed as a code share to DAL.... so in some sense... on some of those routes I believe they could make a claim they were THEIR routes...... just more to stir the pot!!!

I hope you're right, but then we've heard this all before, haven't we? We shall see what happens this time.

Careful with the innuendo. I'm not Joe Merchant. You're not busting any bubble, because as I've already stated, I hope it DOESN'T happen. I do not wish ill will on your pilot group. I want us to mutually coexist.
