There are pathways to let your concern be known within the union, none of which you can follow, because you're not a member.
You are entitled to your opinion. However you are wrong. The biggest discord is the result of low standards, defeatist arguments, acceptance of false choices, and a blissful and willful ignorance. You have an industry that is in the gutter largely at the fault of pilots in general by not having a spine to stand up to management. While I support the union, I'm also not constrained by it or any other pseudo-monopoly. If it doesn't perform, get rid of it, and replace it with something better. 3 yrs+ to get where we are is a pathetic failure by any standard, except maybe yours.
If I weren't a paying union member, I wouldn't care so much about getting results from it. Give your brain a chance.
