I had ALPA representation at my previous regional and ended up quitting making less money than when i started. even after the "payout" the contract was way worse than it should have been. watching my beloved union roll over and promote a crappy contract and a payout for concessins was indeed a bummer
I'm curious how many Pro-ALPA SkyWesters have never worked for another regional
You’re basing your assumptions on a specific point in time at your past airline, very narrow point of view I my opinion. I prefer to look at the past 50 years of union history to make a decision on there benefit to our industry.
Our industry is very cyclical, had you not had a union at your previous carrier you would have been a lot worse off period. You happened to work for an airline that was in BK (as I understand it), so I can see how you would be down on a union. But please educate yourself on what benefits unions have created for us as airline pilots.
