I don't recall being a voting member of any seniority list that had the opportunity to vote down the ****ty legacy contracts with the expanded scope. In fact I would bet that very few RJ pilots were on any of those seniority lists. The bottom line is, ALPA and their counterparts at other airlines, decided it was more important to protect the pay of the top of the seniority list, than the jobs of the junior guys. They also years ago failed to recognize the benefit of RJ's, and for all practical purposes refused to accept them in the industry, and refused to fly them. This is their own poor judgement, and now they want to ***** about it. I refuse to conceed that the state of the industry has anything to do with RJ pilots, and everything to do with the priorities set forth by the legacy management and unions.

I will once again ask HMP to actually respond to one of my posts with an arguement telling me how it's my fault that I'm forced to fly an RJ on a seperate seniority list. I have reposted my original post in the attempt to get an actual response. But I suppose she doesn't have one, because she knows I'm right.
Anytime now, she'll respond, I know it.
