I don't believe most pilots would do that. If ALPA was truly representing us (like in the old days), agency shop wouldn't be needed. Now that they are not, agency shop is the only thing that is saving them. I believe that is tsquare's point...and he is exactly right.

The topic from tsquare was agency shop. Now you bring up collective bargaining. The two have nothing to do with each other. But it is yet another deflection on your part.
