Of course they always favor mainline, because $$$ talks.
If is kind of like having an attorney represent both parties in a divorce, when the attorney is sleeping with one of the parties.
The regionals (pilots) should get together and start their own union.
I nominate we call this union S.T.R.A.P. (Strategic Team of Regional Airline Pilots). We can then refer to them informally and accurately as STRAP-ON.
