Can't see any problem with that........other then its lack of results. The flying public doesn't give a rats patoot about pilots or their unions. Actually, most consider unionisation to be one of the problems that lets marginal pilots slip by (both mainline and regional) or why drunks busted at security get their jobs back or why UAL pilots were milking UAL for $300,000/year and working 10 days a month for it (that is not the whole story, but it's one the average passenger believes).

Most of them aren't in unions and exist under the merit system and I think this wouldn't help.
