Collusion:
Definition
"In the study of economics and market competition, collusion takes place within an industry when rival companies cooperate for their mutual benefit. Collusion most often takes place within the market form of oligopoly, where the decision of a few firms to collude can significantly impact the market as a whole."
If our union had any guts, they would take all of the involved airlines to court. For what?
I would argue that their illegal secret meetings has cost our profession and individual pilots millions of not billions of dollars.
I'm not joking. That is total BS.  |
AirCon was set up before deregulation as a legal entity to act as a balance of power over labor unions. After deregulation the power has shifted dramatically in favor of management. No one turned it off so it has kept going and achieved gains that were beyond their wildest dreams. Over the last 30+ years labor is now left with a tiny fraction of their influence and a tiny fraction of their pay.
