Before there was a post 9-11 regional industry and before the modern day RJ, ALPA represented pilots who flew the DC-9 and the 737 200. The RJ has been around for a long time. But, they were flown by mainline pilots that had a career path, who one day became 747 Captains. Time for mainline dues to champion mainline priorities for the short and long term interests of the profession.
