Seriously, there are pilots voting to take less money in order to take airplanes away from fellow union pilots. Why should a passenger care when pilots are willing canabilise eachother?
Because when that passenger gets stuck in Flint, MI due to "pilot shortage" because the regional partner does not have a pilot to operate the flight, that passenger needs to know the reason they are going to mis-connect to attend grandmas funeral, vacation, etc...
They need to know the major airlines are gladly taking their cash to sell them a ticket, boozing profits while failing to increase the pay of pilots to properly staff the flights they have sold.
