Here's just one example of why your statement shows ignorance. NWALPA signed off on the removal of 2nd Captain augmentation. That resulted in hundreds of wide body Captains being displaced and losing money. Had we not done this huge cost saving item, many more junior pilots would have been furloughed.

Again, just one example.
