I would without hesitation

, Those planes should absolutely be mainline aircraft. Like ACL said, getting more planes and pilot jobs on property is always going to be a good thing for all involved. The longevity divide caused by regionals and Majors only divides all pilot groups from working together. With ALPA representing the regionals and the majors at the same time there is always going to be a conflict of interest. How does ALPA fight for keeping jobs at mainline while also trying to protect jobs at the regionals? The only way to fix that divide is to eliminate the divide by flow agreements or bringing jobs back to mainline. IF all else fails ALPA shouldnt represent both sides of the fence.
Protecting and enhancing scope protects mainline jobs.
