To the crowd who want to reform ALPA from within...any new thoughts on the subject? Or are we sticking with the vision?

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't each PILOT group vote on every scope relief decision. I believe there is not one single instance of ALPA forcing any pilot group into relieving scope to benefit a regional pilot group, is there.
Stop blaming ALPA for the votes of the majority on each property. Regardless of whatever the new prez writes, he does not decide scope relief or restoration on ANY ALPA property.
We all need to look in the mirror to solve this problem. The best thing for mainline pilots and regional pilots alike is to get rid of as many RJ's as possible. The only way to do that is to realize that WE, as in mainline pilots, are the ones who gave that flying away to begin with.
