I think a better future is seeing those 10,000 regional pilots start to get more union leadership positions and change ALPA from the inside, which would be WAY easier than first decertifying ALPA and starting from scratch. If all these future former regional pilots are too lazy to decertify and start from scratch now, what makes you think they'll starting having the time and energy when they're finally making the big buck and actually have the QOL and income that affords a real life?
While I can agree that ALPA has not been the greatest in having a grand unified strategy in dealing with compensation at all levels of the 121 industry, the behinds scene work they do in safety, legal, and aeromedical work is priceless. Heaven forbid any of us ever need this kind of support:

Nothing important I guess.
