It is my belief that at some point RJET left to their own devices will try to challenge exclusivity rights of its mainline counterparts. They will try to fly whatever they can to a a alliance flight totally going around a mainline section one. It will be divisive and a last ditch effort to save themselves. If they are part of ALPA, it will not be tolerated. It is also the same reason what the DCI's that are within ALPA are not trying the same thing. Keeping all pilots under the same National banner allows us the ability to resist being our own worst enemy.

You may not buy that, but being wrong would be very costly. Even the RJDC issue was an internal ALPA issue. I prefer that any day to dealing with the company on these matters.
