Bacon,
Your posts are long on anger and posturing, but short on substance. You seem to show up every couple of days to lob a grenade or two at nobody in particular just to attempt to interject a little bad will and vitriol into the debate. It's entertaining, for sure, but who exactly are you fighting against? If you really are a Delta pilot, surely you must realize what you're doing is helping nobody but management. So, what's the story? Are you on the 4th floor in the "contract management" cubicle or are you just another line puke who doesn't know when to shut the hell up? Just curious.

Or he feels emboldened because has the Lord on his side. WWJD? Outsource the whole thing, that's what he would do. Duh.
But srsly, all this cryptic talk dancing around the fringe of RJ's and manufacturers and "creative ideas" coupled with management's ferocious history of outsourcing everything except their own compensation and our union's enabling it in the first place at every turn its something to keep an eye on.
RAH doesn't have enough long term 50 seaters to justify some earth shattering paradigm shift to the degree of the C Series. Even if they did, all they can do is bid so low, like Mesa or Pinnacle, just so we get in bed with them and they end up dragging us down like a panicking fat guy that can't swim. If they do take a premium for changing 50 seaters to 130 seaters (whoever's at the controls) all that amounts to is paying them extra to get out of the leases, which we could do on our own anyway. The real winner is management putting ALPA's best and brightest scope lawyers to work writing language so mission critical that if there is a hole in it anywhere, all narrowbody flying is gone for good.
Screw that. Let RAH wither on the vine and go the fate of IndyAir. There will be a long list of carriers that do exactly that. They have nothing we need. Period.

Wow, this thread is getting really boring.
Latest from CPO in the northeast...
777 order in the low teens
717s, # to be determined
20% pay raise, quick contract with few rules changes (hence the willingness to work over the last 2 years for LOAs)
Increased number of 76 seaters
60-65 medical benefits to encourage retirements
nothing stated regarding hiring
discuss...(already a huge no vote from me on scope alone)
