It seems his sense of charity exceeds his sense of justice....

Of course there's no tax benefit to justice.

Bingo.

Ol' Moneybags doesn't "give" money to anyone/anything without getting something in return....like a fat tax writeoff.

Can I presume you missed the irony/sarcasm in my post?

And he thinks he's going to live forever. He's got one foot on a banana peel and the other 6 foot in the grave.

Maybe he should stick to rail lines.

This is where pilots go wrong. I don't believe it's personal, Buffet or not, it's just Business.

When the business believes that the costs of a job action will outweigh the additional profit of employees on the cheap, then they will increase pay and benefits.

Simple as that.

If you feel you are being underpaid, then leave and go to another company. Surely if you are worth more money, you will be paid more at another company.

If that statement is not true, then you are either paid what you are worth, or you are paid more than you are worth.

Buffet believes in efficient markets. Labor unions create massive inefficiencies.

Then get out of the industry ,unions are a fact of life,you are worth what you negotiate, and Netjets pilots are worth a lot more than their current compensation. Hence the current struggle.

I am waiting for the day when our industry catches up with the rest of the country. The day that this line goes to 0% will happen in my lifetime.

Labor unions are similar to investment capitol. Shareholders pool their money together in order to get a greater return than they would if they were to take the same amount of money and start their own company. Labor unions pool their resources (the employees) together to negotiate a better compensation package than they could on their own.

You think the employees of a company that has a union should quit. The reverse argument is why not run a company in a way where a union is not needed. Or, if employees get a union, why not argue that the management should quit?

Some would say companies with Unions deserve them.
