I know RJDC wasn't about more outsourcing but at the same time had the RJDC gotten what it wanted then there would have been no scope and all size aircraft would go to the likes of Mesa, you can't have it both ways.
Plug, Sir, you still don't get it. The RJDC was never about "no scope." If anything the RJDC would have made scope tighter by restricting these airplanes that Delta negotiated to outsource.
First, a staple job would have kept the flying on the Delta list. That push failed BEFORE the formation of the RJDC.
The RJDC was a response to ALPA telling the ASA pilots that they could not negotiate a contract with the principle of their business who had operational control of the airline. ASA was not allowed to contract with Delta.
The RJDC won that point. ALPA changed it's policy and today ASA has a contract with it's owners and Comair has a contract with Delta.
Sure the RJDC would have liked to see these airplanes restricted to ASA and Comair, but, to make it sound like they wanted unlimited outsourcing is completely wrong. They wanted to stop outsourcing. Almost everything Bob Arnold predicted came true.
