Let’s set the clock back few years.
Was it really a coincidence how the majors, at the same time, terminated their retirement plans, and cut pay and benefits?
Imagine if all pilots from every airline round the county formed one national union or association. Also imagine if all pilots of this “imaginary single national union” got wind of the erosion of pay, benefits, terms and conditions. Would the turn of events have been different if every pilot who was a member of this imaginary national union told their employers to go $hit in their hats at the suggestion of pay and benefit cuts?
With that being said, would this AA pilot be handing out leaflets?
