And then there is their "union"...

Long story, AJ and Uncle Warren are the only happy campers. Along with a group of pilots that successfully know how to suck up.

It's a damn shame...but largely self inflicted -- and those that don't like it are labeled as anti-union outcasts. The only potential salvation is attrition and inability to hire, but those market forces have not yet translated into benefits for the meager and beaten down line pilot of NJA/NJASAP.
