I do understand the difference between less pay and subpar pay and I think yours a dumb idea that mainline carriers should accept subpar pay after they spent a decade trying to fix contracts that were decimated. Our regional situation isn’t perfect but it is light years better than what I am seeing in Europe. American eagle and delta connection aren’t flying across the Atlantic but your “regionals” are (or were pre COVID) flying to America. Coming here and throwing stones while allowing outsourcing on a much larger scale along with flag of Convenience schemes is laughable.
Outsourcing is a win for mainline pilots, particularly those who never flew for the subcontractors. Just because they can't/won't change it doesn't mean they don't benefit from it somehow. Profit sharing checks is an example I've been using for a while now. Their management uses outsourcing for a reason....

I never said it would be easy to change. I know about the RLA.. The fact that you say ALPA can't do anything means that you agree that they haven't. Hence, and once again, the whole "dug my heels PRETTY HARD on scope" self-praise is meaningless. Call things what they are. Make some progress before patting your own back. Pull the thorn from your own eye...
