We simply unionize and have a clause that Pilots ALWAYS will have majority on the votes. No I have not worked out all the details and yes there will always be some that is against everything regardless of what you suggest. Compared to what we have today, it MIGHT be a good solution for all involved if we look at the opportunities and not the problems, while at the same time try to solve the issues that may or may not be there.
I see where you are coming from, but there are issues with this. Like a previous poster said. The FA's have strength in number. Most of em hate us anyway, and would more than likely go out of their way to burn us if given the chance.
Fact is that 85% of what we spend millions on fighting for in our contracts is just given to them. They got a better deal now anyway.
