And no I am not some union thug or cheerleader, far from it.
But the first book might give you some perspective why professional pilots need ALPA. It is a history though, might be a dry read.
Are speaking about yourself ? If you REALLY hate unions that much, why are you at COMAIR with an ALPA contract to protect your butt ?
I am sure there are PLENTY of wonderful operators that would love to have your experience and caliber of airman to enrich their seniority list.

I am at comair because they were the first company to offer me a job. I agree unions had their place at airlines in THE PAST. They have no place at airlines today. Outdated archaic laws focus way too much on the rights of unions and not so much on the right to work. My goal is the destruction of unions. I doubt I will live to see this accomplished but some day unions will be beaten at their own game. The important thing to look for now is a future with no unions. Thats right no more protecting the weak and the lazy. The laws are far too liberal as far as allowing "union drama". That means somewhere theres always strike talk or contract negotiations. Thats a load of crap. The right to strike needs to be eliminated NOW!!!!
