Ah, the Dan Ford/Cooksley/Joe Merchant mentality. Mean evil ALPA is oppressing you like a klansman or something, monetizing your suffering for great success at the mainline plantation/prison camp/killing fields, etc. :roll eyes:

Maybe you should form a group and sue to take your seniority there and attempt to carry some or all of it to mainline. Why rely on the "underground railroad" of the SSP to end the suffering of some, when you could instead work towards a 13th amendment to ALPA policy, finally ending the source of treachery and hate? :roll eyes:

Any mainline is going to be different and separate (and almost always not equal) to regionals, other majors, LCCs, ULCCs, cargo operators and foreign airlines. Including those in the overall umbrella "family" within any global network. You're not a victim because of that. Everyone's hiring. A lot. Like right now. Including the very airline/seniority list that you apparently think you *should* be a part of. And they are hiring from your airline a lot. And so is everyone else. If things are so bad under your so called "Jim Crow laws" :roll eyes: then why not move on?
