Unfortunately, you are right. That's why we need to push ALPA to make this their highest priority as more and more regionals are pushed to the brink.

I'd like to see ALPA start national flow through program that would be tied into the national seniority list. When a mainline has an opening, they take the most senior pilot from the national seniority list that happens to be working for a regional and automatically flow him to that mainline.
