ALPA needs to set national floors on salaries and refuse to sign off on any TA that would come in below those salaries. If they (the regional pilot group) can better that number fine, but no lower than "X" would be permitted. The main reason for bargaining would be QOL issues. And for our non-union brothers and sisters, they can remain non-union but they will be punished by a blackball list if they accept salaries below those scales. That is not going to happen either, but I believe that could work. Turbo is right, regional pilots can't even get their own house in order. Alpa is also an unconcerning money pit for pilots at the regional level. Just my 2 cents.
