Jungle,

I agree with you, there should never be a reason for a union, if you put in 110%, your employer should give the same to you, It is a two way street boys. I agree unions have not given the Aviation industry much, 32000 a year to fly right seat in a 90+ passenger airliner (Republic Airlines), Pathetic and shameful. I am young and am still trying to figure out this messed up industry, I just will never be able to figure out why leaders in this industry and other industries cant see how the sucessful, profitable companys treat employees and model themselves after them. Also for me it is not so much about making the super big bucks, it is about a livable salary and the respect of being the professional I have trained to become, which alot of Management in this industry do not get.
