Default What's in it for me?

"..issues that probably won't even affect most people" will certainly affect some people, and they are your brother and sister pilots. We should support medical insurance for pilots' families, even if we have no intention of getting married. We should support furloughed pilots even if we are too senior to ever be furloughed ourselves. A moral principle of unionism, too often forgotten, is that we help each other where we can, without calculating the payback.

A MORAL principal, in general, is that we help others without expecting anything in return. I couldn't agree with you more Tom. In today's, "Me-Me-Me-Me" society, I feel this simple lost art of helping others has been forgotten. . . .

Not surprising why (Pilot concessions to help out the company only to get screwed later) . . . sort of makes one NOT want to help.

However, what you and I are referring to has to do more with an "Individual's" choice vs. a Group choice.
