I don't think you'd get much argument from the mainline pilots to the idea of taking back the flying. Fully half, if not more than 60% support the idea of recapturing the flying. The trick is recovering it without gutting pay and workrules to achieve it.
The merger was never about making things better for mainline employees, let alone regional feeders. It was about maximizing share price for shareholders and "helping" out senior managers. Labor is the muck on the bottom of their shoe, and regional labor is the gunk on that muck.
