That said, it's always best to take any news article with a grain of salt. Most reporters do their best to be factual and accurate, but unless they've been an airline pilot, flight attendant, manager, what have you, they probably don't fully understand the industry.
You mean like Southwests unionized mechanics and unionized flight attendants, and unionized customer service agents, and unionized reservation agents?
Southwest is one of, if not the most highly unionized airline operating in the US today, and this author says they are largely non union. In my mind that is a pretty big misunderstanding of the industry.
