Great in concept but, I am afraid it would have come appart like ALPA.
Freight Dog union is really run by and for pilots from ( insert name of one of larger memberships) they don't give a s()t about us at ( insert name of smaller membership, or outfit with smaller airplanes). You would not believe the office that they are building in ( insert name of base of one of the carriers ) the rest of us are being screwed. Or the only reason that guy got elected is because the pilots at (insert carrier name) all pull together and the Pilots at ( insert carrier name) had to merge and hate each other.
In the end many would claim that they had something inserted.
