If you want to work for a non union carrier, go right ahead, they're the ones offering
no retirement,

no scheduling limits (if you think that's just union "feather bedding, wait till you've done some back to back 16 hour FAR days). Just check out the lowest paying, dirt bag outfits, and guess what, they'll be the non union properties. :
In general unions are a necessary evil in our profession. Most operators that start small and get bigger will acquire a union in the process.
However to be fair Mesa is ALPA and Skywest is non-union (so far).
