See any pattern here SH?
Are you trying to say that non-union busting strategy's are better? I don't wish to bust unions. My position is that if pilots were really worth something in the first place they would not need a union to blackmail companies into better wages. The auto manufacturers have been brought to their knees in part by overpaid workers. Airlines are the same way.

Non-union companies have the long term advantage. Eventually they will prevail and pilot wages will be set by the free market. A pilots true un-blackmailed value to the industry is the real enemy. We love our jobs and most would show up for free to do it. We are our own worst enemy by choosing as a profession something that others do as a hobby.
