She has always been involved and I would say that is true for my pilot friends and their spouses.
For your wife's sake, don't tell here about some of the stuff you read here. We have a couple of supersized ego, Union hating Captains that are under the deluded thinking that their position is still relavent. They and their ilk are the exact reason they didn't get a raise for 10 years. Most people (97%) were able to learn we needed a Union here and now we've got a pretty level headed group trying to get us a new contract. We've got a solid group of guys supporting them. Negotiations are always trying. Getting emotional about it is a bad way to go. Being emotional for 2,3 or 4 years can really take a toll.
