I don't think it's an ALPA issue, it's a company culture issue as to the acceptability of flow. I have done a lot of cockpit jumpseat time on American and I haven't heard any particular heartache from their pilots.

I don't have a dog in this fight anymore but I think the results speak for themselves. Which regionals are comparatively doing well with recruitment? Endeavor, because of $$, and then the American regionals with flow. Yes, they're not meeting their numbers either, but by comparison to reiterate.

I really don't think that there is any disproportionate % of bad apples at the regionals as compared with mainline. Maybe now, that hiring standards have dropped so much.
