He is. ALPA has a direct conflict of interest by representing mainline AND regional pilots. Anyone who thinks that mainline would earn what they do if regional pilots earned what they deserved for doing the same job at the same airports in the same weather is either in denial, delusional or both. Regional pilots indeed do subsidize mainline wages and that fact lays squarely at the feet of ALPA by giving up scope for a few pieces of silver and the fact that their over inflated egos didn't want to fly "little jets" 20 years ago.
