Slow,
One leading candidate for MEC Chairman told me, and I quote, "Scope does not matter." His opinion is based, like yours, on the fact that economic trends are resulting in management pulling down RJ flying. Therefore we do not need to "invest" in job protection provisions which are not needed.

He is 100% correct! Scope does not matter .......for ALPA that is. Think about it, DAL outsources 2000 Pilot jobs to DCI, well that must suck for ALPA to lose 2000 union members. Oh thats right, I forgot, only the mainline jobs are outsourced, the union retains members since they are ALPA.
Somehow I can't see the longshoreman at Long Beach losing their jobs to newbies doing it for 50% pay-rates at competing companies - all while being in the same union.

Glad Slow posted this as this only proves my point how you can skew the numbers.
1) Pull small RJs off city pairs that haven't seen mainline service in decades, if ever.
2) Use the statistics to claim that we are reducing RJ ASMs and numbers
3) Quietly replace mainline city-pairs with large RJs, directly outsourcing mainline jobs.
4) Total RJ ASM and hulls still lower, but now mainline pilots now effectively outsourced.
5) Repeat
6) Profit!
Nu

Can you show your math on this? This newfangled science that you're using has me confused!
I thought the forum logic was if we didn't have RJ's we'd have to fly mainline everywhere...

Sorry, but I honestly cannot remember. If we did acquire some new 777s, would there be fences for them. As a north guy, I can't help but day-dream. Thanks.
