I really shouldn't take a rocket scientist to see that we both have a vested interest in not being pitted against one another.
If your talking about ALPA, dream on. ALPA is no differant than anyone else, the membership that has the most money wins. Do you really think the Pinnacle pilots will welcome Colgan pilots into the fold regardles of union affiliation? This is assuming there will ever be an issue. At this point it's all conjecture.
What should worry you most is being run by a company like Pinnacle, there is probably a good reason Pinnacle flight crews are already unionized.
