You want more ALPA unity? That's how you get it. Spend mainline money on mainline issues.
No it’s not. Just because you want your dues money used a different way doesn’t make it a conflict of interest. Dues distribution is an ENTIRELY different discussion.
You are not even addressing the points Ive made. Once mainline pilots make their deal, nothing that regional pilots negotiate will change the mainline pilots’ contract. Regional pilots can not negotiate with regional management for mainline 737 flying. It doesn’t work that way. That 737 has already been scoped in. This is true whether or not dues money are commingled or not.
