That is not an excuse to not have a union....if that's what you're implying.
B6 has new equipment so no. I agree about preserving the profession...If it came down to crews loading the plane washing it etc. MGT would have a hard time staffing their airline so it would become a moot point. Unions are necessary but contracts can be thrown out in bankruptcy that's all.
