While you're at it, how about see how all the pilots who were at non union carriers whose management promised not to ever furlough or had an "understanding" how they feel?
Furlough protection clauses in contracts or management promises and understandings are not worth the paper they are printed on. If you are just basing your thumbs up or down on unions on that one very narrow focus, then you are sadly uninformed.
Besides, the best union in the world can never overcome a management team who is flushing the company down the drain through stupidity.
