Once the national "Right to Work" law (aka Right for Management to Bust Unions) is passed the clock will be ticking for us. The effect for UA pilots will be quite slow at first, and perhaps not noticeable for years, but then quite dramatic once the dominos fall.

A small increase in profit sharing as a result of increased corporate profits will be dwarfed by a nice 30-40% decrease in career total compensation. (For a comparison of "market rates", refer to the non-CBA compensation at companies like VA or JB. Make sure to include retirement and health insurance expenses in the calculation.)

Of course, I'm a cynic. Maybe we'll all get ponies.
