How about if Major carriers had RJs/props on their certificate/seniority list. Fly the RJ/prop for 2-3years and get crappy pay, then move on to the better payscales flying a bigger plane. At least then people would go to a company they like and stay there without the need to sell-out for PIC turbine time. There wouldnt be 5 different carriers flying for 1 major, it would all be the same under 1 company eliminating the under-cutting at the regional level. Each company would have an incredibly strong pilot group, imagine going on strike and shutting down every airplane the company flies from a turboprop to a heavy 777. Pretty good barganing chip!
