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.
This outcome has severely negatively affected the career prospects of regional airline pilots as well, probably many times more so since it will run its course over the remaining several decades of active service (and into retirement).
As far as I can tell, the interests of NO airline pilots were being served by allowing this to go down. Not an impressive performance to many looking at the organization from the outside in.
