There is no disunity in attempting to make the Delta union focused ONLY on the pilots of Delta. Except in your world.

Yes, Carl, because having a bunch of really low paid and underrepresented pilots would have a great advantage to our careers, especially the junior pilots. There has never been a regional contract that forced bigger jets onto their property. Never will be. The fact is, that the best way to recapture the flying already lost is to make the costs of those pilots climb up to mainline levels or close to it.
But if we have to split off then why stop there? Shouldn't we have a Captains' union and a First Officers' union? How about a separate union for Atlanta and Detroit? Where does it stop?
