I'm interested to see how this all plays out. I can see the pro-union PenAir pilots out in front of the PenAir gate and ticket counter picketing already. "Honk for pilot unionization!" *Beep beep!* "We want ALPA to negotiate us a contract!" *Beep beep!*
I respect your views, and on some points I agree. But I'm happy negotiating my own pay and not paying ALPA to do things for me. Heck, I don't want my pay going down, which is a real possibility with a union negotiating my pay!
You seem to bring up the money aspect quite often. Yes at a union, people need to pay dues. Typically less then one, but no more then two percent. At this point financial compensation is not a real issue. You don't seem to get that. Check out the last KS4life post (11-18-08). My personal opinion is that you are some of form management personal. I'm going to venture and say, you have an office on the second floor and your name is similar to.....Hontie Lates? Well either way you can go hunker down in the fox hole, let someone else do the dirty work.
Serving my fellow pilots.....on my knees forever. T.T.
