So in short, they do nothing. Job security isn't enhanced by them. Whipsaws and bankruptcies still exist. Career progression isn't enhanced from 10-15 years ago. In fact, it's worse than it was 15 years ago. Pay and benefits are worse after inflation than they used to be as well. Retirement packages? Hahaha. Common interests and enhancing value of all alpa regional pilots careers? That would be getting rid of regionals and taking flying back to mainline where it came from.
You apparently don't realize the entire committee was recently restructured and given the task of improving the profession as opposed to the old committee that congratulated each regional as they took flying from another regional.
It's now focused on career progression, providing job fairs, interview preparation, working to change outdated laws that allow whipsawing... and well, you saw the list; you just had your mind made up before even looking at the changes.
We get it.
Ryder is doing more there than anybody else ever has.
