Now... that being said, unions do perform an imperative function when it comes to safety.
I think paying 2% for an 18% raise every four years is a bargain. Without that 2% we'd be raked over the coals.
SonicFlyer: I know you're an uber-libertarian and all but here's some questions:
1) Are you an airline pilot?
2)Have you ever worked for a non-union airline?
And one more ...
3)
Why do you think legacy pilots (and FDX/UPS/SWA) make what they do? If you say "market forces", then why don't non-union/corporate positions pay the same?
