Not quite my friend.

The major two (publicly acceptable) reasons were : WMD's and to liberate the people from a dictatorship.

I bet you think Abraham Lincoln wanted to end slavery just because he was such a nice guy with a kind heart too...


But back to the wonderful world of aviation...You guys need to get over go jets, pay would still be crappy if they were alpa. Where is the guarantee that if go jets had not been created, that i would be driving a bimmer and own a 5 bedroom estate in upstate NY? Scapegoats will always be needed to justify why people are unhappy, and unfortunately an airline with a safety record that has been better than most others is slammed because they didn't wanna play with alpa.

Remember that Alpa article a few months back about how Eagle MEC's were securing their jobs and QOL for the future, and then a month later AMR declares bankruptcy? Yea. Alpa is no better than Gojets-its a pilot club with lawyer friends. Doctors and lawyers have an ALPA too, they are called country clubs.
