Carl,
Care to post some numbers?
Last I checked, the numbers were overwhelmingly mainline, as is our EVP structure.
Also, the two of the largest groups of regional pilots are unrepresented (SkyWest) and represented by Teamsters (Republic). Since 2007 I'd go as far as to say the numbers at the ALPA represented regionals have declined while mainline has grown slightly. Eagle and ASA are probably the two largest ALPA regionals, which together do not have half the seniority list we do here at Delta.
The biggest change in the balance was the defection of US Air.
