They have to. Just line ALPA supports FAR 121/117. It's a Federal Regulation. And repealing the RLA could be way more disastrous for labor than you can imagine especially in an anti-labor society.
I know you think you know it all because you went to some garbage aviation "university" but you are clueless

Outsider,
I respect that, and I had not really thought of it in those terms. In short I think there is a bigger systemic problem in our line of work. We have been pitted against each other like gladiators. But once they need to address the regional employees with as much or more vigor that this NAI nonsense.
I will leave it too cooler heads to prevail, but a lot of us are stuck here wondering if we will ever see the light at the end of the tunnel that has been touted to us so often.

What's the alternative?
Each line pilot makes a snap judgement to an alleged contract violation and refuses to fly that flight/trip.
Said pilot is fired by company.
Union goes through grievance process to get wrongfully pilot reinstated, (process takes 1week, 1month, 1 yr, 1 decade?)
Pilot tries to survive in the interim not knowing how long the process will take.
That whole solution doesn't sound grand, so even at the Majors, Union advice (ALPA, SWAPA, APA, etc) is unless you are being told to break the law, you should fly the dispute and let the union fight for you after the fact. At a major you have 13,000 pilots with 12,994 interpretations of any one section of the contract.

If this is a serious question, it's idiots like you and others alike in this thread that actually support this that are the problem with this industry today. Get your head out of your ass. There was a time when not every idiot with a commercial certificate got hired. Regional minimums were 2500TT+ without being required to be so. Now everyone thinks they should be in the left seat of a heavy a couple years after their first solo.
Approval of NAI has no benefit to any US pilot.
