lol cmon now, every single company on earth does this on interviews unless you have a secretly disgruntled guy conducting the interview, I mean they are trying to sell you the company as much as you are trying to sell yourself.

lean back for a second and think about where this thread has gone... mgmt loves this! A rant/issue is posted publicly and it ends up with pilots bickering with EACH OTHER. Everyone preaches unity and unions, or just claims to all be in this same industry together but we are all just knocking each other down. No, I don't have a solution to recommend- but look at the BIG picture industry wise. A single mgmt group reinventing the wheel can quickly become the "Status quo" which helps nobody. Look at reduced rest, look at low pay rates, look at PBS. These are now "lessons" but unity (throughout the industry, not doing a union ad here) can keep things in our court. This is BS for those at 9L.
That being said- VOTE ALPA. (had to put it in somewhere!)

The only thing you will gain is turboprop PIC (which, IMO, will not get you far). Get hired at a larger regional. Second year FO pay is better than what you will make as a captain! Then upgrade, get jet PIC and go from there!

When there is a vote, you can vote for whoever you want. Even though ALPA intitiated the vote, it doesn't mean that you are restricted to voting for ALPA alone. As long as over 50% of pilots PARTICIPATE in the vote (i.e. vote yes for a union), then whatever union gets the majority of those that participated wins.

Please do yourself a favor!! Ask ANY CHQ, Shuttle, or Republic pilot how they like the teamsters. You might as well stay non-union rather than paying the teamsters.

As of right now I couldn't be happier with the fact that as long as I pass my checkride tomorrow I have a job.... I have a number of friends who are still out working random and mostly boring jobs just to pay the bills..... being furloughed sucks.
