that's a good point, it has to be all of the above if at all.
And if that happens, then the scope clause has to come with it. It's a nonstarter if it doesn't. And I don't mean a take back or % reduction in DCI, I mean SWA scope.
0 outsourcing.
so while yes we would be incredibly overstaffed with the new rules, maybe the new flying would take care of that to the positive.

I do not think I would like to give up this particular part of the contract in order to get SWA scope... I will have to think on it a little more, but on first blush, it seems too ripe for abuse by skeds. I definitely want nothing to do with 14 SC days. That is too high a price.
Be reasonable. I'll start posting Gator football pictures if you don't rethink your position!!

Nice little graphic from Motley Fool (who seems to be changing their tune on DAL stock):

T...you have to think on this more. SWAPA's scope doesn't allow for ANY domestic flying to occur by anyone but a SWAPA seniority list pilot. That would mean our pilots would be flying over twice the amount of domestic flying we do now because we currently outsource over half of our domestic flying. That increase in flying would create such a massive wave of upgrades that nobody currently on our list would have to be on reserve unless they chose to be.

And as to your contention about upgrades and reserves, that is absurd. there will ALWAYS be somebody on reserve, and no amount of insourced flying would guarantee that because of the retarded pay system that will prevail yet again, we don't have enough 777/747s to guarantee everyone a line holder slot.

Hmmmm, since SWA screwed the airtran guys into signing. Does this mean that if we get a deal on the 717's that no pilots will come with them? How many 737 will we give up to make the deal happen? No more 50 seat RJS, cant have any more 70 and 76 seat either huh?
