Quick question, forgot to bid, from an old EAL pilot:

If all the flying was mainline and should have stayed mainline, why didn't ALPA/APA insist on it staying mainline? Yes, it would have meant mainline guys taking a pay cut to fly 50-70 seaters, but they would have stayed within the scope clause. At the worst, the pay would have been like current RJ work AND under the mainline banner.
