Look at the regionals WITH a union and look at the regionals WITHOUT (short list). Do a comparative assessment....the union carriers do not seem to be doing any better, I would even be bold enough to say that the majority are doing worse. AGAIN, unions do nothing at this level. Management (AAG, DAL, UAL) hold the cards. Regional management is ineffective and feckless. Unfortunately, these are the guys with whom the regional union reps negotiate.

Combine the seniority list!
