Jamers no ill thoughts to you guys at all by any means. It is about ME ME ME in the group sense. I'm sorry your pilot group didn't vote in a union, but if the union wins a fight then the benefits should go to those that did vote for the union and did support it. If a percentage of my check is taken out so that I can have a hot lunch delivered to me everyday I'm flying it wouldn't be fair to me if you guys didn't pay the percentage and got the same hot lunch.

This industry is about ME ME ME just most realize the best way to increase the QOL for ME is to work together. Those that don't are finding it's best to ride on the coat tails of those that do.

To give you an example. Some of my father's crops were killed a couple years ago. The chemical company mixed the wrong chemicals and basically Rounduped some of our fields. Do to the water running from those rice fields to our other fields we had to use about $90k in additional chemicals to keep the other fields alive. With the $90k plus the loss of the killed fields we went a couple hundred thousand in to the red. We went to the chemical company but they literally laughed and said not their problem. Now we're suing them. We've already spent a great deal of time, effort, and money on lawyers. Now that things look like they are going to turn into our favor the land owner says he wants a percentage of anything we get. We told him he'd have to pay for his part of the lawyers and legal fees and he wouldn't. Do you think it's fair that we took the loss, we have been going through all the troubles, we have damn near lost our lively hood, we have paid for all the lawyers and fees, then all the sudden him walk up and get a piece of the action? Hello no... This is our fight and if we win then WE win. Not that jerk. If he wanted something out of it then he should have taken the gamble like we have because we still stand to lose everything.
