TP, curious.....did you read the whitepaper from beginning to end that was put out by the US airlines?

Last I checked, there are no US regional airlines based in an absolute monarchy like Dubai, so they have freedom. Regional pilots have the freedom to pick a different union or to create their own union. If regional pilots feel like they are being treated like step children by the union THEY chose to have on the property, I think they should leave and form a better one.
Yup all 19000 of us should leave while the RLA ties our hands behind our back and does not offer the same courtesy to management.
And last I checked, its the major airlines that control the purse strings and the circumstances surrounding the regional industry, but lets just ignore all that.
Freedom
. Its just an illusion. Double standards is the reality.
Carry on.
