Maybe your career would see less "damage" at JB or VA.
This airline was union when we both came here. It was also union back when the union gained 200% pay and when the union gained 150% pay for ALL OT!
You play the division game by trying to imply that men like me are anti union. WRONG! We're just anti
oppressive union. According to many, MANY, Capts I've flown with, the union worked with the company from 1997 until 2008 and in that time accomplished many things, including an almost doubling of the pay scales. Since then, from what I hear (and see) the union functions for nothing more than making sure no line pilot makes more than a union "volunteer".
