I don’t despise collective bargaining, I love my contract I work under. There’s no way around it in the airline industry. I can’t demonstrate that I’m a better worker than you with the goal of more compensation by flying airplanes, hence the seniority system.

I’ve worked for a non-union electrical company and my personal effort earned myself far better compensation than what the IBEW was advertising. So yes my individualism did pay off. But again it doesn’t work this way as a pilot.

What do I have a against unions? They’re fake nowadays. They worked for the benefit of their members way in the past, but now like everywhere else that has a constant feed of money flowing in, corruption takes over. I just happen to be one that cares where my money taken out of my pay ends up.
