Seems union protection is merely for the union heads not the people it represents. If you strike they shut down regroup and/or hire scabs, tough anymore being a pilot when you just give and give and get little in return.

Maybe we pilots need to start national groups and work together as a whole not just on the company or union level . I think if 100,000 pilots decided to strike for 5 days Fedex, AA and Ups etc would whip the faulty party into shape real quick. Maybe time to organize a true pilot union of sorts for the pilots that would have some clout.

Set realistic salaries based on equipment size and seniority and work rules that are national standards and then one for all, all for one. maybe that would do the trick. That way we could do away with all the other unions and just have one pilot group represented by pilots for pilots that served us all. That way every place would be a descent place to work.
