Foxhunter,
Of all the people that shouldn't be complaining about unions (or ours specifically) is you. FDX ALPA singlehandedly pushed for giving over 60 engineers the ability to fly as pilots until age 65. I'd say that was a pretty good windfall.
But in between shoulder surgeries I'm sure you forgot about that.

What about the 40 years prior to that? Ever heard of Delta + a nickel? The FDX pilots have been riding the coat-tails of ALPA contracts from their birth.
And by the way...How is it you flew 3 weeks every month on the 727 at Tigers? It was week on-week-off for everyone else. Maybe the planet that you came from had 6 week months?
