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 still haven't figured out why having FAs in our association would be beneficial for us? FAs and Pilots are apples and oranges. As far as I am concerned FAs should sign a 5 year contract and be paid on 1099s. Maybe I'm an A hole, but I want to protect our brand at all costs!
