Serious question, when will you see that the union is the pilot group at each airline and not some magical superman you pay a portion of your pay to so he can fly in and save you?
The best CBAs are created by the most unified pilot groups who all pitch in and never give up the fight. If you think you just join an association and everything is fixed for you, you will be let down.
BTW, the most lucrative CBA in the entire industry is at UPS. Their pilot group is the IPA. They understand that they have to look themselves in the mirror to find the solution to their problems and they have succeeded at being unified and taking matters into their own hands.
They don't believe in imaginary superheroes.
