And so I ask you again... how has the in-house unions collaborated with ALPA to make the profession better?
Separately... how has the in-house unions made the profession better on their own.. meaning.. what value to they bring the profession as a whole.. ..
Provide specific examples, as I have done...

You might have noticed SWA has basically three sizes of one aircraft type with 143, 150 or 175 seats in one class of service. Delta has nine different aircraft types with 23 different configurations with 109-293 seats and four classes of service. The Delta Connection fleet has 450 additional aircraft with 50-76 seats that feed the network's connecting hubs.
Nice try though.

We can debate the issue or make up fake reasons to not ....
