How does Flying the Line address the failures of ALPA at the regional level? I, II, and Hard Landing were all published prior to the sale of scope.

That being said, if the books do address why ALPA never brought all airline pilots under the same umbrella contract or to a minimum standard, could somebody paraphrase rather than telling the OP to go read some books?

And for the record, OP, your questions were perfectly reasonable and I'd love to know too.
