It was going to become law regardless of what he said, so why bother WASTING our dues money on a war that was never going to be won? Many of our pilots keep voting anti-labor, and then wonder why they're getting screwed. Why are so many on here so surprised???

First, I'm not advocating voting anti-labor or pro-labor. As pilots we are screwed. Democrats don't look at us as labor, but as a bunch of overpaid men.(no offense to women) Republicans are the only ones that view us as labor, and you see how much that helps us. So basically the only people we have looking after pilots is ourselves.
