What we really need as a "RALPA"...a Regional Airline Pilots Association. Two pilot groups, each of whom are a potential threat to each other, represented by one union...talk about a union busters wet dream. Just the kind of crack in solidarity managers love to exploit.
The only way that things (may) get better is if we represent ourselves. I consider myself a pretty pro-union guy, but the way we have it set up is just stupid.
