DAL TA as per Council 20 Chair Tom Tucker

Haha. Good one red.

Again, PCL, you disingenuous twit. I have never said "all outsourcing must end with the next contract. What I object to is the expansion of the size of jets being outsourced.
It is not now industry standard to outsource -900's. Only delta and usair allow that size. Both delta and usair were in BK when they allowed them. Allowing more while profitable lowers the bar on the big RJ fight.

You have to misrepresent my argument to make your pro-ALPA agenda work.
I'm not anti-ALPA- by ANY stretch- but the organizations in aggregate have NOT lived up to their predecessors.

The one being disingenuous is you, wave. It has been industry-standard to outsource this size airplane for quite some time.

Really?
two airlines- both needed bk to get it done
AA and uniCal aren't fighting like hell to keep them off.

Sorry, but the NMB doesn't much care whether something was agreed to in bankruptcy or not. They only care what your "peers" (as determined by them) have. The NMB views DAL's peers as UAL/CAL, AMR, LCC, and maybe ALA and HAL for the purposes of pay rates. They exclude SWA because of the radically different business model. They also don't have much patience for spending time on permissive subjects of bargaining.
