It's actually scary that there is at least one person who thought this a good enough idea to actually write it down.
It's actually not such a bad idea. Every other union controls entry into its field. If ALPA and the other unions controlled the barriers to entry into the marketplace we could stop the never ending supply of cheap labor in the form of the 200 hour flight school grad flying Part 121. That endless supply depresses our wages. Furthermore we could stop the impending disaster of the Multi Pilot License.
