Where's you get this? You said it. LCCs undercut Union Labor.
BUT...you want to "look out for #1" and go for a "quick upgrade". Can't you see that's the way every scab who has ever crossed a picket line justifies his actions.
So you took a chance on an LCC and lost. Now you want to do it again?
Don't be surprised if every Union pilot in the industry treats you like you've got AIDS if you do something like that.
And don't bother asking for a jumpseat, either. Don't be a pintail.
