For a 30 year old at United, this is the difference between tens of thousands of dollars over the course of a career.
That 30 year old will likely make $8,000,000 over the course of their career, let's round the higher fees up to a $100,000 and you're worried about 1.25% of that career earnings? I know pilots are cheap, but come on now.
Nevermind the fact that the union workers are paid via the exact same salaries so if the cost to pay them goes up 30% it seems like the dues going up 30% makes sense.
