Uh, excuse me but I would love to get rid of ALPA and the self serving trip drop, management birthday bash attending country club and put people in the union who care about the pilots, scope, pay rates, pension, sick leave, medical, etc. I have 19 years, sign me up!The problem with what you suggest is the shear number of pilots on the combined list with 10 years or more seniority.
Your problem is not theirs. To these guys scope is about number 10 on a list of 10... importance wise.
Quality of life issues are probably the top five, then pay and so on.
Junior guys get the shaft in this biz...always have always will.
Nature of the beast...
