Is ALPA national really helping the regionals that are in negotiations? Something really has to be done about the underbidding RJ game. It's has gotten out of control.
I am not looking to start a whiny thread, I want ALPA national in DC to perhaps try to understand what its like to be paid what a RJ FO makes... or even what a super stretched 80,000 lb RJ FO makes.
Guys, it's the same airplane for 1/2 the wages:

XJT [ALPA] will fly 50 seaters for more than you anti-union dude will get for the 74 seater. Continue to drink Chuck's Kool Aid and live on food stamps, please.

You take the "jet engine" out the argument and no one cares. What if there were a bunch of SF2000 flying around, no one would care.
