Maybe some genius has already thought of this, but why isn't there a Union that represents the regionals?? 110 seats or less, a union that looks out for the little guys??
You could call it RAPA, Regional Airlines Pilots Association. I'm sure someone has already thought of this, so why has it not worked??
just curious??
There used to be a RAPA. I believe they either disolved or merged with ALPA. I know they represented one of the carriers that made up American Eagle.
The big problems with a regional specific Union is that the small amount of dues we pay would not be enough money to even carry out day to day business let alone carry out any kind of political or safety agendas. Dues would have to be increased to about 4% to really be effective. Not to mention if you think ALPA is hostile to regionals now just wait until you remove any kind of connection between the parties.
