Industry contract will be achieved with an industry standard union. I wonder where we might find an industry standard union? Maybe the union that has negotiated all of the contracts that we hope to achieve?
would we be better with ALPA or with AR and our culinary attorney both of whom are winging it and flying by the seat of their pants? Ball or strike?

I get that professional pilots are a bit disconnected to what the rest of us make. But I am leaving a career in teaching to become a pilot, last year my contract was for $53k. I drove Uber weekends and during the summer so my 1040 says I made $63k last year. If you take out my mandatory retirement and health care I walked home with less than $1000 a week. Living off 50k a year, hell even raising a family on 50k a year isn't only doable a lot of Americans are doing it.

If I was happy making 65k a year then I would stay a teacher. Being home every night, every holiday off, every weekend off, and working 9 months a year is going to be hard to give up. But if it's 65k the first year with 100k+ beyond that I can live with it, heck my CFI makes more than I do. I was simply responding to the person who called a guy an idiot for saying you actually can live off 50k a year.

Why speculate, a quick search says there are about 196,000 ATP's in the US. There are about 7 million certified teachers in the US and 4 Million actually teaching. I am not questioning that pilots should be paid more (that's the markets job) I was simply stating that it is possible to live off 50k a year and the person who said so is not an idiot.
