We're filed under the Delta corporate holding company just like DGS. Delta may do it for us but this company is owned by a public company and the SEC mandates our filing so there are no secret cash reserves or slush funds which protects the investors (SEC only job).

ALPA doesn't have any magic powers or legal powers to disrupt legal corporate entities or their organizational models.

Maybe pilots should be more unified and they'd stop the regional model but mainline pilots have had that opportunity for decades and refuse to do anything about it. ALPA is made up of the pilots, represents pilots, and the pilots have spoken. When we make it to mainline maybe we'll care about the regionals more than these guys above us now. Get bored sometime, look at all the things APA is doing for their ALPA regionals. With the exception of APA pilots, mainline pilots clearly look down on regionals as a whole.

There is no unity. There is no magic bullet. Don't wear the hat. Drop the brake early. Vote and get involved. Beers taste best when free or on sale.
