Both are in (somewhat) competition for the same flying.
I am saying do not allow regionals to undercut mainline to the point that mainline is pushed out of markets that support mainline. Use the regional to build new markets and serve thin markets but not allow the regionals to usurp mainline flying.
ALPA can do this.
If 2 unions develop it will be competitive to obtain flying for one group or the other and that WILL lead to the groups taking concessions to gain flying.
