By "direct help", they mean any sort of staple or seniority list integration. Why? Because that would most likely be facilitated by ALPA and those that it would help most are the very pilots they don't want in their ranks. Not all, but most of these guys/gals did nothing but complain about having to fly the 145 after they lost the CRJ flying for Delta, then United, and finally the 175 flying for EV. C5 is a relatively junior airline and most of the people they are likely trying to keep out have tons of experience at the regional level, but bring along terrible attitudes and many will continue complaining no matter where they go. Who at C5 wants to listen to stories about how much better the CRJ is or how much better their old contract was, every day, on every leg of a four day trip?
