The benefit of a union is disputable, at best--especially the white collar management wannabe pilot unions. The day the free market allows paying as much or as little as one wants to a union is the day the unions will actually have to perform for their members rather than the self-important leaches calling themselves leaders.
Oh the irony.. a union having to leverage the ideals of capitalism to survive.
