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.
If ALPA would stick up for regional airline pay and treatment then 50% of the flying wouldn't be going to the regionals. Airlines are saving big bucks with regional labor costs.
Sky West guys/gals,,, ALPA did nothing for me at MESA and I am currently taking a non pilot aviation job just to get by. I wouldn't recommend ALPA.
