typical,
instead of admitting that DL did indeed bring back work to DL people that had been outsourced, you turn it into an attempt to belittle those who bring the truth.
your reward?
I will present you and Kev and dawg and everyone else on here that has adamantly refused to acknowledge that DL's reduction of RJ flying and addition of mainline flying is helping DL people, including on the ramp?
who works DCI flights in DTW and MSP and who works DL mainline flights?
even though there may be no difference in outstations like MSN or IND where DL people work whatever comes in, right, or in ATL, LGA/JFK, or LAX where DL people work everything, there is a difference in DTW and MSP where DL people work mainline but not DCI.
so put these little factoids in your pipes:
By this July, DL will operate 15 MORE mainline flights on average per day, ALL coming with an even larger reduction in the number of RJ flights.
For the same period, in DTW, it will be 10 new mainline flights and a larger number of RJ flights
AND DL is removing 35 RJ operated flights from DTW in the same period. 35 is a HUGE reduction in the number of RJ operated flights. that's a 35% reduction in the number of RJ flights.
and the number of total DL/DCI seats is UP... in favor of DL operated mainline flights.
and let's not forget that EVERY DL mainline flight is staffed by DL pilots and FAs - which probably explains why both depts. are hiring in such larger numbers.
so it is PATENTLY incorrect to argue that DL has not insourced work that was done by contractors.
DL's move to bring RJ flying back to DL is the single largest event in the history of insourcing in the US industry and DL, not unionized AA or UA, is doing it.
in fact, AA's fleet plan for 2015 is for the mainline fleet to SHRINK while the RJ fleet esp. of large RJs will grow.
On yet one more point, the unionistas refuse to acknowledge that DL is doing more to secure the jobs of its own people and bring work back to DL employees than AA or UA are doing despite far more unions at those airlines.
feel free to regale us with your stupid remarks and give me the opportunity to come up with yet another reason why unions have failed compared to what DL is offering its employees.
