I remember that DL deal included increasing the number of larger two-class RJs and reducing 50 seaters. I'm personally not overly impressed by that since 50 seaters were making their own way out by then and DL wanted more big RJs, but I'm sure there are different opinions on that. I understand the bankruptcy, but no one needs to be praising themselves on scope with basically no progress made. "I dig my heels but happily take the PS checks" isn't exactly heroic.Originally Posted by Gone Flying
At least 1 is major has, in 2012 DL had something like 800 RJs, now that number is 415. And mainline must do 1.88 mainline departures per RJ departure. That’s significant progress in my eyes. Again, when a BK judge gives management a blank check with the scope section of your contract, it takes time to undo that carnage. The last time the contract was changed to increase the total number of jets to be outsourced was in 2006, over half of DL’s pilots have been hired since then.scope being a battle here doesn’t mean we can’t have an opinion of flag of Convenience schemes that could have a significant negative impact on our careers.

You are fortunately much more specific in your responses than rickair7777, who would shame other airlines for outsourcing while working for one that does the same. I'm not saying there are no differences between the regional shell game and NAI's operation, but there are definitely similarities. It has been humorous to watch regional pilots stick their nose up at other subcontractors, specifically for subcontracting...
