If you don't want opentime, don't pick it up.
Are we really discussing this?
So why have a union at all. Why don't we let each and every pilot work as an individual contractor? Everyone bargains their own rates. If pilots are stupid.......I guess it is not your fault.
The union absolutely needs to protect its pilots from making stupid decisions at all costs. That is why ALPA was started in the first place. SAFETY
