You Nailed it. Very impresed. Not many remember the late 80's. The arrogance of the Major Airline Union leaders brought us to were we are today. The regional pilots were losers to them. And they did not want em on the seniority list. This is because if they did, there buddy's would have start out at Eagle and not the 727. This was said by Rich Levoy-AA- many times.
All pilots, Main line and Feeder, need to be on ONE list. This is the only way to gain leverage. The lowest bidder will always win- look at Republic for example. Explosive growth.
