I figured you guys would like that better than someone like me trying to come there, and then complaining about the union.
I know that not all unions are the same, but they all share the same foundation. Without proper attention, that foundation shows through, and anyone who thinks for themselves is vilified. I believe that in a union, the whole group gets dragged down to the lowest common denominator, and in some carriers, that's pretty doggone low. Maybe that isn't the case at JB?
