Then explain Republic and Gojets. Their union isn’t doing mainline and regional.... they aren’t doing any better. ...that’s a nice sound byte, but it’s not really accurate. The fact is the mainline and LCC carriers have leverage that regionals don’t. Their flying can’t be transferred if they don’t take concessions. At the FFD carriers it can be. That isn’t ALPA’s fault. It’s just fact. Get in, get your time, get out.
