Again you are wrong...... It's to bad you can't attend one of the captain leadership symposiums or new hire dinners at Delta your take might be different with a little exposure. Another thing to remember is that the liability that regionals have in the event of an accident doesn't necessarily convey to the major airline it is flying for.

That's exactly my point. The company owns hiring, and the company wants their interviews if at all possible. To any extent they utilize pilots to participate in the process, which they happen to seem to want very much to do, they do it at their own liesure. I'm glad you came to that conclusion finally.
You want to get on, except for a very few specific alternate pathways, you will have to interview. Even most of those alternative pathways involve the company participating in or controlling the interview at some point.

I have very little respect for someone who tries so hard to "win" an argument on the internet. Your condescending tone always comes out when someone challenges you. We're just having a discussion here... chill.
However, I can give you a lengthy list of names of pilots hired with less than 3000 PIC from ASA alone. A good friend of mine just last week. Maybe, just maybe, you don't have all the answers either...

I know there are pilots with less than 3000 PIC. You said in your gem of a post that they were snake bit with over 3000 PIC... that is not the case as there are piles of them being hired. If you spew bullcrap the way you did where I know firsthand otherwise, I will absolutely take you to task.

Question is if a regional had in its contract that during any buyout of a mainline, regional pilots will be stapled or have a flow would ALPA see it gets enforced as mainline pilots would obviously fight it?

The liability we are speaking about is a point of law not what we as pilots want...... Just because an aircraft is painted a certain way or an airline has a specific level of service it has "contracted" for doesn't convey liability. Additionally the contracting carrier doesn't do the interview vetting process, training, checking, and general oversight of said airline.
