RJ airlines desperately want more mainline flying. Mainline pilots don't want to give it. One entity represents those disparate interests between the parties. That is the very definition of a conflict of interest. You'll never see that. I get it. In spite of your refusal to admit it.

It tells you nothing with regard to whether a conflict exists or not. Nothing.

You're naive. During Section 6 negotiations, the experts all come from ALPA, the money ALL comes from ALPA. The statements of: "Better sign this guys, because it ain't gettin any better than this" all comes from the ALPA experts through our reps. ALPA national has a priority. It is to gain as many members as possible. If you won't understand that, it's because you refuse to.
