They’re great at big 121 lines, at stepping stone operations, move on.

This is bad advice. I was represented by ALPA at a regional with about 300 pilots. Worth every penny, they effectively fought management every step of the way and secured thousands for the pilots in back pay, contract signing bonuses etc. It is my understanding that ALPA represents pilot groups with as little as 50 pilots, though I'm not sure if they represent 135 operations
