Mainline scope erosion grew the regional ranks. Plain and simple. As Bar so eloquently states, "I find it morally repugnant that we would allow our union to trade one member's job to benefit another member."

Again, how does putting 1500 mainline pilots on the street, gaining 2000 IBT and non-union pilots help ALPA?

For that matter, how would putting 1500 mainline pilots on the street and gaining 2000 regional pilots help ALPA?

I'll help you....IT DOESN'T.

The $$$$ is much, much better from a mainline pilot's dues than from a regional pilot's dues.
