Well if mainline doesn’t want to pay decent wages or mainline B scale wages then let the RJ’s die along with the regionals. But I’m sure they’ll keep trying to find ways to find cheap labor in order to keep those flights to BFE going.

Mainline unions BENEFIT from low labor costs at the regionals, they are not going to expend negotiating capital to reduce their own slice of the pie :confused:

ALPA National knows which side of it's bread is buttered too.

How does cheap labor benefit the union? It benefits the company by a margin. It benefits the senior main line captains who sold scope for pay. That is all. Junior main line pilots are often beginning over again at seniority year zero. And they have reduced opportunities for upgrade due to the smaller fleet. One would even argue the reduced pay and therefore reduced dues hurts the for profit union.

Unions get their money from the senior guys (who will trade scope for $2)

Junior mainline pilots today are VERY interested in scope. But that's not the same as wanting the RJ to make more money at their expense.

I never said anything about wanting to make more money at a regional. I answered someone elses question about it. Literally. Thanks for proving that ALPA represents the regionals in bad faith. Now we just need a few thousand disgruntled 2 decade rj captains to finally sue the corrupt bamboozlers at national for it

You quoted me. I was elaborating on your response, not really disagreeing.
