It's this type of attitude that got us into the scope mess in the first place.. ME ME ME. You fail to see the big picture just like the scope yes-voters did. Temporary, non-contractual bonuses only paid to new hires are better than permanent pay scale raises for everybody??

I don't know how much those programs cost versus how much revenue the regionals pay in dues, so I can't honestly answer. I still question the need to stay under ALPA just for those services, especially since their unions sold everyone out in the first place. Their history doesn't suggest that they have regional pilots' best interests in mind.
