ALPA has plenty of resources to get competent pilots to the table and arm them with deep knowledge to make real CBA gains. Regional contracts are especially difficult given a somewhat transient labor pipeline, young CBAs, and a fair share of pilots working in their first union shop. It's hard to get and stay unified, but we're pulling for ya.
They should pull some of our dues and hire a professional negotiator/attorney... just like the company does. They’ve got Connor McGregor and we’ve got some dudes that took a weekend seminar at a McDojo. That’s probably why it doesn’t seem to work out.

Agreed, not to mention the fact that all the senior(ish) guys that have corporate history/knowledge are on the way out. In the meantime consolidating all the current LOA’s into a single document that reads side by side with the contract would be helpful, for someone new to the company it takes literally hours to find answers to something in the LOA’s by which time you may have already missed the boat with the desired outcome.
