Saves them more money. They know guys will just pick up open time and RSAs to be compensated like real pilots. Your lanyard has nothing to do with money, and this has everything to do with money!
I don't know about you but I can and I'm assuming the guys and gals volunteering their time for the union have the ability to simultaneously work on multiple projects at the same time. Especially since they have a very good and extensive committee structure set up. Paying full dues? Of course you are going to pay full dues. Been that way forever. Why should we be special? The negotiating process can only go as fast the company and NMB allows. When people stop helping the company and show full unity will there be an incentive for the company to expedite the process. The union has very little they can do because the RLA is very much skewed in the company's favor.
