Now we were all thrilled, me included, I'd never worked for a union but it sure sounded better than what we had, key word there is sounded So to summerize, we gained nothing and lost our base, 900 dollars for premiums, and 30 bucks a month for two years, before we lost everything. So back to post number two of this thread. "IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT"! Thank you.
Sounds ALL too familiar. This is the REAL TRUTH about unions. What my friend finds funny is the the majority of the pilots organizing the union drive at SKYW are so jaded and have NEVER worked for a "union company" before. So, they think it's the way things should be. He also said they leave their union crap all over the cockpits for "OTHERS" to read . . .
