Agreed! For what its worth all flying should be at mainline and never should have left. But also if any mainline buys anymore regionals the trend needs to be improved as well. If mainline cannot accept staple after a buyout neither should regionals be presented with a take it or else contract. ALPA National should pay more attention to prevent what has happened in the past to regionals during a mainline buyout.

One final thought, maybe if mainline management knows they cannot take advantage of regionals like the have in the past and ALPA National would ensure agreements are honored then more flying might return to mainline or return sooner rather then later. Think about it.
