I am very worried about the future of the industry, I challenge and support ALPA to do everything they can to stop this mess.
What are your thoughts on this?
We all know the majors are not going to do anything about it as long as it doesn't conflict with their contracts. They have no reason to stop this when it could mean cheaper labor down the road with Airbus/737 replacements. But really they don't need RAH, what they need is less restrictive scope. For right now ALPA is the only one that can do anything about it. They need to protect scope. The RAH union is obviously in bed with management, ever since their CHQ contrac which was a gateway to 99 seaters, they knew it. It's up to ALPA and the major pilots. ALPA dropped the ball on it before with RJs because they didn't know their significance. Now they know.
