By placing this kind of wording in the contract you strongly imply to management that you're ok with your/other regional airlines moving this direction. Bad idea. If I misread your post I apologize, but if I didn't, then: It is this kind of reasoning that accelerates the "race to the bottom" on so many levels I don't know where to start. This may not be true of you, but this statement implies that you must not ever be planning on advancing to a major, you don't care about those that are, and you don't mind the pay being dragged down across the board at every airline (and ultimately the transfer of jobs from major to regional) with every rung you climb up at yours.
