This I somewhat agree with. A change from ALPA would be good for the regionals. ALPA primarily serves the mainline's agendas, which hurt the regionals. Serving both sides of the table at once is a huge conflict of interests.
However, removing unions altogether would be a bad thing. No one in their right mind would ditch ALPA if they had a mainline job. But I wonder what would happen to regional unions if this passed?
