This is the FAILURE at ALPA and mainlines doorstep. Not the so called lifers. Why hire people outside that paid no ALPA dues allowed to start in front of regionals that have? Think how many would still be here if all hiring came from regionals into mainline. Have better and fair merger policy during buyouts. Should not be so different from mainlines in the same union. Mainline has ample time to know about a company and if it's "a good fit." Don't buy a company if you don't like it.
