).
There are many other good reasons for joining a union I just don't think this is one of them.
I too wish you all the best whether you decide to join a union (would be my choice) or not.
I believe twa voluntarily give up all their merger protections on their cba since thats was a condition of AA buying them and taking all pilots. what would have happen to nwa or delta or Polar Air argo with no union?im sure nothing good.
