There have been numerous airline strikes in the last decade, spirit being the last one. But unions are not just about contracts. To me that is not the best reason for a union. You just have to be able and willing to see the Forrest from the trees.

Again, would any of those places have been better off if Ornstien, Hulas, or Tinnery had a run of the place with no union? If you don't think that each one of those pilot groups would be worse off without a union and those management, then you are not being intellectually honest.
