That's just a silly argument. Your boys will hire "professional" hired guns that have no idea what is involved in our day to day life. Even when you explain it to them, they still do not know what it is actually like to live our lives. But then again, they are so much smarter than the average pilot I guess they would get instantly. Our guys hire consultants that understand legal jargon and ramifications and how contractual language works. Your guys have no skin in the game because all they would be is mercenaries, and once you pay them, they have not to endure one second of the contract they negotiate.
I prefer the way it's done now. Of course your perspective is that our negotiators are blithering idiots and they sell us down the river for some bizarre reason, (even though THEY live under this contract just like you and I do) and nothing they do would satisfy your bloodlust for dALPA's demise anyway, so why do I even bother?
