This is completely incorrect. Majors have shrunk and regionals have grown for almost the last two decades. It has obviously not been "resolved" in our favor. But ironically, since most regional guys don't want to be there, regional growth hasn't been "resolved" in favor of the regional pilots either. There's only one party that has been positively resolved by ALPA's conflict of interest...and that's ALPA.
