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.

I think its been laid out pretty clear that mainline ALPA is 100% senior. They dont give a **** about their own people below their collective seniority level. They dont give a **** that they outsourced their own peoples flying. All they cared about was their bonuses and money. What makes you think they give a flying **** about anyone getting stuck flying a regional jet for decades?
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.

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
