As was pointed out around page 8854, DL, 20 years ago, did a huge amount of sub-100 seat flying with DC-9-30 and the like. At EAL, we had loads of 6-segment trips out of ATL in DC-9s. Now all that flying is still being done by sub-100 seaters, still not growing except maybe some by frequency, but just by the outsourced lines. The mistake was to let it become outsourced for reasons that, at the time, made sense to both the corporations and ALPA.

Now, ALPA has conflict of interest that should be eliminated, either by leaving ALPA or having ALPA divest itself of representing the RJ groups. I'm afraid that the anti-trust laws do not apply to unions.

Or we could have a National Seniority list and all be one big happy union!
