Its just a ridiculous idea really. It might work for some other unionized industries, but its not a good fit for airline pilots.
Also other industries are allowed to have one union for an entire industry, which covers all employers. For whatever reason the RLA doesn't allow airlines to do that, so we have to have separate unions at each shop.
