be clear....i am a current pilot, former clogan pilot. despite my problems with colgan, i would not ever vote for a union. especially in these difficult economic times.

it is well known that colgan was hanging on by the skin of there teeth when the gas prices went through the roof, but yet no one was let go. this could have been a totally different outcome.
i will say it again. in these times...any job is better than no job
also, i have all the time in the world to post. i quit my job...remember
Tell me again why you have all this free time to troll the message boards? Thanks for your concern for us.....but we neither want it, nor need it. ALL 121 carriers NEED legal representation. You claim it is unionism that is destroying the airlines? Hardly! It is poor management that, year after year, rape the company with their tremendously bloated salaries, poor management, and lack of foresight. Managements have used employee wage and work rule concessions historically to 'save the company from liquidation.' Then, when the employees bear the burden of keeping the company afloat, management types reward themselves with bonuses. YGTBFSM! Never again will airline labor allow this to happen. Full pay 'til the last day. If the company sinks, then so be it! It is managements job to prevent this......hmmm, here's an idea: perhaps they could shoulder the burden of concessions since their supposedly a leader. Remember, don't ask someone else to do something, if you aren't first willing to do it yourself!
