It was more than obvious the unions at both airlines were self serving, when you consider SWAPA BOD voted all yes execpt for one no vote on SL9. And from what I'm hearing from over there, SWAPA has not changed much since then. Good luck man, I hope it all works out over there.
SWAPA has changed. Are there still a few self-serving types? Most likely. The biggest, and most important change has been the shift in the Pilot group. It’s a completely different mindset now. Very few koolaid drinkers I’ve come across vs. 15 years ago.
