I grant you, ALPA screwed the pooch YEARS ago when they failed to demand that ALL flying be done by mainline pilots. You could certainly make the case that it is WE spawned the regional airline industry by not insisting that all feeder flying be done by mainline pilots.
But that's really water under the bridge and has ZERO bearing on the fact that Allegiant and Virgin pilots are undercutting Union contracts.

Epic fail argument/assuption. You have no idea what my union background/education is. You may want to heed Abe's advice...

Whew guys! This whole fish thing is really starting to spook me. I wonder why he hasn't been banned. I wonder if he has some sort of relation to the APC. Does anybody know? He comes off as a stalker to me, like those guys that don't work and sit at home and look for their next victims and stuff. I mean, REALLY guys, this is scary.
