Exactly. Every time ALPO allows another whipsaw at the RJ level, they just lower the bar another notch for the whole piloting profession, making it cheaper and increasing managements incentive to outsource more and more flying to the “RJ” operators.
I’m sick of this “mainline ALPA is different” crap. ALPA National is one organization and one of the National officers is a regional pilot. The fact that they choose to disregard a whole segment of their dues paying membership tells me all I need to know about those crooked scumbags. I want nothing to do with that organization ever again.
ALPA will make no difference here at AA. The same guys are going to be running the show. It’ll just be under a different name, and our dues money (likely more than we’re paying now) will just go into the giant ALPA money pit and contribute to the unbelievable waste that occurs at ALPA National in Herndon.
