Clueless and incoherent logic. This model has only served to destroy jobs at the majors. ALPA representing both sides has only served to continue this model.

Unresponsive straw man response to an argument that nobody is making.

No, the best way is for us to demand it back via collective bargaining. The regional pilots should raise their pay by collective bargaining paid for with their own dues...not the dues of Delta pilots.

Delta pilots represented by a union that is focused solely on Delta pilots. It's the ONLY way to go.

Not even you believe your own argument here.
