Talk about pressure........Or is this going to be like the pensions that only pilots give back and everybody else keeps? The benefits of voting indirectly for all come with draw backs I guess. I guess it would suck to not have a union and lose PS at the whim of some other group.
Many questions without answers. If my PS where in the hands of another group I would want answers.
Not my problem.........
One of the biggest walk off in a huff and me not asking for anything to eat or drink was with an ATL flight attendant who was ranting that she didn't want a union......especially when she found out I was a north guy. Anyway, I tried to be nice.......told her I didn't care (I don't) but finally I said "look, you have a union.....it's called ALPA, I just wish you would help out with the dues thingie".
Didn't go over well.......but I hope you see my point. I could care less if other groups have a union or not. But, if they are going to enjoy what we may or may not get, they need to pay us dues
