Soooooo....... ALPA had a direct hand in creating an underclass of pilots specifically so they could collect LESS dues than they would had those aircraft stayed on mainline certificates, then forced themselves upon said pilot groups? Pretty sure those regional carriers had to vote in ALPA themselves......
I will grant you that the decisions that created the FFD carriers as we know them today were short sighted, but the idea that's it's just some sort of ALPA moneymaking scheme ignores a whole lot of reality.
