Then you force the risk of other departments taking things to an extreme with their work rules that could jeopardize pilot jobs.

As far as saying me not looking out for pilots best interest, that could not be further from the truth. Problem is you don't think outside of the box, evaluating the fallout on a larger scale. I could go ad infinitum about what those things are, but what good would it do? It is like telling a kid not to touch the fire because it will burn you in the long run, but the kid knows better and does it anyway.

I am curious, what in your mind would be some of the bad things a union would bring?
