While it was nice having the resources of a large international labor group, they were also very open about putting us in our place and pushing to bring EMS transport under the umbrella of fire suppression duties and thus putting us out of work.

Only an airline pilot’s respective MEC can negotiate their own contract. They are not able to negotiate another pilot group’s contract. They have no say in it. So of course each MEC is going to negotiate what is solely in their own interest. So yes, mainline pilots will always negotiate in their own interest and regional pilots will negotiate their own interest. Neither has a say in the other.
