The key word being "most" pilots? Most will move on, with the ebbs and flows of the industry. That's the business model. Heck, Delta is taking our FO's, no PIC time. Many will stay for a long time (I'm not even sure what I'll do).
You're trying to connect ALPA at a regional, non-union carrier, with ALPA (or any union) already existing at a major that tons of our pilots have already gone to over the decades.
I don't see the connection. I'd go to Delta or Southwest, if the money was right. Both are union (different unions). Or I'd stay here and probably be pretty happy over the long haul.
Too many look to unionism like a religion. I don't. I'd assess the company, the money, and my quality of life at that carrier. I suspect most do the same.
Hope that answers your questions.
