I just wonder what ALPA's response would be if Western and NWA pilots would be required to take a test and interviewed to have continued employment at DAL. We already know what happens when a major buys a regional.

If your flying at a regional it should not take long to know a few rules. #1 Don't ever expect equal and fair treatment from the majors. Your just a regional pilot. #2 The majors gave up their scope but as a regional pilot you should still accept some of the blame for the downfall of the industry and loss of jobs at the majors. #3 No matter how bad, unsafe or unacceptable of a pilot you may be, its still ok to represent a major airline at the regionals. The flying public can tell the difference.
I think its all supposed to change after you pass a test and interview at a major. Then your allowed to ridicule and make fun of the nasty regional pilots that are obviously trying to ruin the careers of the major pilots and trying to cheat sneak there way in.
