I'm advocating doing away with the union at the regionals, not replacing it or fixing it. Not even a pilot driven association such as skywest.
Let the company worry about organizing the pilots. That way when pilots go rogue and decide not to work or show up or show up late, there is nobody to sue. There is no work action. There is nobody to complain to. Let the company organize the pilots no different than any other corporation. Think about the simplicity. Someone else on this forum has hit the nail on the head with this thinking, can't remember who.
But its now clear to me that the company needs the union more than the pilots do. Think about it.
You are so dense. The company can come after you for a job action if you called in sick, didn't show up for work. If they didn't fire your ass first. Who is going to fight for your job back?
Plus with no seniority from a union pay would still be low since there is no unity within the pilot groups. They will fire a senior pilot for anything and hire a new one at half the cost.
