737er:
Sadly, if pilots just would learn to stick together, we could correct all of the above.
Sadly, that spilt is far worse today than it was in the "golden age" when I was a TWA pilot and before the commuter airlines really took hold.
And, even in that so-called golden age, there was hardly any brotherhood between ALPA pilot groups.
Early on, I figured out, that at my own airline but for the seniority system, my fellow pilots would have been ruthless in gaining a seat or better pairing.
