Definitely agree with you as far as an existing conflict of interest goes, but I wonder if you, or a majority or your pilots, felt the same way when Expressjet was growing while mainline Continental was shrinking.

Please don't take that statement as a personal attack against you or your pilot group. The conflict of interest between regional and mainline companies is only bothersome to a pilot group when it begins to adversely effect said pilot group.

This, in my opinion, is ALPA National's biggest failure as an organization over the past few years.
