I came from the military, where I couldn't even spell union. I was ignorant (as in uniformed, but still capable of rational thought) about all sorts of labor issues...and still am. I learn a ton from these boards. I'm happy to see some of these productivity and job-loss issues getting hashed out; regional pilots have been exposed to many more discussions about them than your average military pilot.

I don't "need" to do anything...I do what I can to advocate for what I believe are pro-pilot and pro-union positions. My opinions are nothing more than that. If they or my delivery trigger you, so be it. But thanks for the marital advice... very helpful!
