That is my point. Who does ALPA represent besides ALPA.

They are playing both sides ,mainline and regional, and neither side is prospering. When they represent regionals that take flying from mainline carriers flying the same paint, who are they really helping. Mainline loses flying and regional pilots lose opportunity to move onto mainline.

Don't get me wrong. I know ALPA does and has done many things to build the career and improve aviation safety. But I think they have lost focus on where the priority is. In my opinion the priority should be in supporting and developing well paying jobs with good benefits that make this a worthwhile career. Promoting the growth of regionals and allowing the erosion of scope does not do this.
