I for one would support it. Mainly so our union could stop using the FAs as a scapegoat on why we shouldn't/can't ask for improvements in certain areas. With a contract, the FAs would have all perks and rules established and any gains would need negotiation. As it stands now, we pay dues and essentially negotiate for the other groups.

I know...utopia...but at least I can try. I know there's many guys out there that will support us, but also know there are plenty that could care less if we're all outsourced to Mexico.
