But until that ever happens, ALPA seems intent on supporting the regionals using the dues money of the majors. ALPA seems intent upon growing the regionals as a way to make the entire industry healthier.

O'Malley's first letter to the membership sounds a lot like Moak's campaign letter: Talk about restoring compensation, but don't speak of Scope issues in any way.

For everyone who wants Scope restoration and wording that prohibits the company from signing any new or extensions to existing RJ contracts, we are going to have to beat our LEC reps about the head and shoulders. We'll have to make it so painful for them, that they'll tell the O'Malley's and the Moak's that they risk DALPA's ALPA affiliation if they don't stop ignoring Scope.
