And then there are some that simply use an abundance of caution to protect their privacy. They never have told anyone, except maybe their own spouse in very private, secluded location, their own Social Security Number. They always spend cash for fear of being tracked by bank records, and they keep a latex cover on their computer when they connect to the internet. While some would characterize them as paranoid, they are certain they're just being very careful.

SOME of you guys have NO idea why a pilot's union was formed -under what conditions. . the sacrifices made by countless numbers -AND what the union has done for the profession.
