The difference between the pilots of today and the pilots of the past (50s-70s) is that the pilots of the past were able to achieve great success because they were unified and fighting for the same cause.

Today, unlike the past, each segmented group is only concerned about their own hide. With so many more diverse issues, Scope, work rules, etc. we are never able to get unified for a common cause.

Block representation would only make this diviseness that much greater.
