Now that we have established that both groups are at fault we can call it water under the bridge and work to a solution keeping in mind the very idea of having two separate groups creates a weakness. Do you have any solutions to offer?
Once you understand that the RJ pilots share 50% of the blame, here's what you do IMO:
1. Make scope the highest priority in major's negotiations.
2. Have RJ airlines' pilots negotiate for pay parity with the majors over a 5 year period maximum
3. If the RJ pilots have to strike to achieve step #2, the affiliated major(s) strike in sympathy.
