Always a noble effort. The sad part is this, that may work if you have say a Colgan pilot, a SkyWest pilot, or EVEN a GoJet FO who simply was too ignorant and didn't know any better.
With the carriers this is meant to effect, I can guarantee you that the MAJORITY of them (the pilots) have ALREADY worked at a unionized carrier. I'm sure for some, MORE than one unionized carrier.
In other words, talking to them about the benefits of union representation isn't going to do much good.
