Fly SOP if you work here. Apply elsewhere if you don't.
So why didn't the Democrats do anything to ammend the RLA more towards workers rather than continuing to allow corporations to profit from ludicrously long "negotiation" periods? Politics is everything. You can't stick your head in the sand. I really hate that about most pilots. That's why we continue to beg for petty privileges and barely incremental improvements in quality of life and pay. If you want to make meaningful change, you MUST attack the politicians.
