If you move a golden day and the swap is approved, it becomes a regular X day.

FWIW...don't get wrapped around golden days. It is exceedingly rare for even an X day to get violated.

My point was that if he is a candidate for ALPA President, then he needs votes from people who have a far different agenda and different interests than the Delta pilots.
Given the current scope tensions, trying to vigorously represent the Delta pilots and simultaneously trying to curry favor with regional pilots is a conflict of interest.

MOST of the guys at a regional/commuter DO NOT WANT TO GROW or get larger aircraft!!!!!!
They have realized that growth in a/c size means less long-term earnings. Haven't talked to anyone who thinks that airframe size growth at a regional is good for them. There is a SMALL minority at many regionals who are "lifers" and they have a different agenda. Unfortunately, and it is unfortunate; that minority has usually taken more prominent roles in their MEC administration. Their "official stance" doesn't always represent the desires/ wants of the majority of the line pilots at an airline. (Does that sound familiar at all?)
Back it up a little on the regional guys, they really are just a victims of the vacuum created by the mainline scope blindness.

Seriously Check. Did you come from a commuter/regional? Have you talked to pilots from that segment of the industry that are NOT in the top 10% of their respective lists?
