I think Unions were good and they have done great thinks for the industry in regards to safety. I think if we got rid of all the unions we would be better off. I think pilots would walk away if they didn't have to start over when they came back. Why does a furloughed major airline pilot have to start over at the bottom of the hill in regards to pay. In other parts of the world and in other industries people go form job to job with out pay cuts.

The system the unions created is not working for me 20,000 dollars to fly a 50 seat jet is not right. And then to ask this person to pay dues on that 20,000 is even worse. Most regional pilots are going to be regional pilots forever or they are going to walk away.

Are you willing to walk away?
