I'm basically proposing, at the regional level, that unions are of no value. I propose basically that unions do the opposite at the regionals, they give the company the needed infrastructure to keep pilots inline. Imagine if there was no union or central pilot group authority, how could the company possibly cope with all the anarchy? The company needs the union desperately, but they need to control the union under the covers.

In order to reign the group in and function, they would have to basically work harder to keep pilots on the property and happier, especially in times like this where it is clearly a pilots market.

For the sake of argument, what would happen if at your company (any regional) the pilots just decided to vote out the union altogether and not replace it with anything at all, not even an in house governing body. What would happen?
