Fred won't let pilots go unless the economy/regulation force him to-they are a valued source of income. It is always entertaining to listen to the reasoning that unions are somehow responsible for our jobs or our economic condition. Collective bargaining is a wonderful thing, but it doesn't create jobs and union courting of politicos has only brought about fewer unions.
