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.

. Its just an illusion. Double standards is the reality.
Carry on.
Are we arguing about the RLA or your statement about your union treating you like stepchildren? I'm arguing about the latter point. The RLA sucks. You won't hear me defend it.
All regional airlines don't have to leave the "union," which I assume you mean to be ALPA. Just the ones that feel they are being treated unfairly can leave. And they certainly do have the freedom to vote out ALPA or whoever and vote a different union in. We're all lucky we weren't born in Dubai, or we wouldn't even have that choice, or likely a forum to complain on.
Carry on.
