Until then, ALPA doesn't show that they care about Regional Pilots. It's a "Conflict of Interest" for them. SkyWest Pilots are way better off without ALPA, oh and 2% or 3% ahead on pay.

ALPA has allowed almost 50% of all domestic flying to be given to regional airlines while drastically shrinking the number of active mainline pilots.
Untill domestic flying comes back to mainline then I can only assume that ALPA is in fact representing the the interests of regional pilots at the expense of real careers at the major airlines.
