The union is neccessary at the regional level, otherwise the regionals would exploit/abuse turbine-lacking pilots more than they already do..... Are they neccesary at the majors, cargo and fractionals? I don't know, and I won't get into that, but they're definetly neccesary at the regionals, more than ever even........like I said, a young pilot wants to get to a 777 or G-V ASAP, so he/she will fly that RJ for ANY amount of money, to some young kids pay is completely irrelevant.......... A "union regional industry" could work on that.... I like that idea.....
