iahflyr,
Excellent points! UAL pilots helped drive themselves into BK. Some will NEVER admit it because they are like children. They want it all, they want it now, and they want it because....well, just BECUZ ! ! !
Sadly, most UAL pilots have failed to think for themselves and have gone along with everything ALPA has told them.
Don't forget, C2000 was not a huge failure because of the pay rates. It was a huge failure becasue the pilots produced VERY LITTLE under the work rule language of that pathetic contract!
Yes, you are on to something! NEVER abandon your ideals. Never let a union or a company tell you how or what to think!! Good job!
