Selfishness in the extreme?!
For many years ALPA has fought for, and successfully achieved, "scope clauses" in their collective bargaining agreements, which limit the number of regional jets their respective regional partners can operate..usually based on the fleet numbers operated by the major carrier..now that these same major airline pilots are being furloughed in droves, they turn around and are trying to force the same regional partner airlines to hire them while on furlough, without forcing them to resign their seniority at the major...so in effect limiting the jet flying opportunities for the regional partners, but at the same time...flowing back and taking away what jobs the regionals have been allowed to have!!! Both pilot groups are members of the same union...ALPO (A)....when does greed end...and reality take over...these major airline pilots fought tooth and nail flow-through agreements that would have allowed regional pilots to advance during the good times, but now these same major airline pilots are fighting for flow-back agreements when the regionals are doing good, and the majors are laying off....hypocrisy at it's best...time for a revolt amongst regional pilots...see the website regional jet defense league....amazing
