You *DO* realize that he's the EXTREME exception,,, NOT the norm at a Regional carrier at that salary and days off,,, right?......said the ALPA pilot who brags about his six figure salary and 18 days off a month flying a 50 seat RJ..........
I hope that if I ever end up at an ALPA regional that ALPA "fails" me as badly as it "failed" you......
ALPA has its uses, although it's not the cure-all that many pilots want it to be. It's imperfect, and Scope issues are one of the imperfections.
To make this career better, when UAL and CAL combine, it's perhaps one of the most important Scope battles of this decade: to keep CAL Scope restrictions in place. Unfortunately, that will come at the expense of the regional carrier feed at UAL. You'd furlough hundreds of CoEx pilots in the process.
Again, ALPA can't fix that problem. To properly represent the mainline ALPA pilots and keep Scope they have to screw the regional ALPA pilots. Can't have it both ways on this one...
As for me, I'll take ALPA, warts and all. Better than a free-for-all union melee going on out there.
