The union damage is soon to be done. Pandoras box is open and there is nothing you can do about it. Ive been in this industry for 40 years and only now are we seeing the fractionalization of unions. The foundational cracks were and are there, but now Norwegian Air is opening the doors, the various pilot groups will be at each others throats even more (as if that already seemed possible before) and the gates are now beginning to open.
Only a national seniority list would have cured this problem when Carter deregulated in Airline Industry. Unionism at the airline level might have had a chance. But greed overcame principle and the flood gates are opening. So don't preach to me about your "righteous" cause. Go complain to your union rep. You know, the one who has NO power to do anything.
BTW, my schedules are just fine.
Explain to me how right to work will help us as pilots? You think it's bad now, what will happen when you have pilots on the same list that are union and others that aren't? That'll be great for advancing our profession. 🙄
Time to step away from the Alex Jones broadcasts.
