Yet another perfect example of unions not doing enough. Even with the little bit of press they did get that finally woke congress, it was not due to the unions. And that was a perfect opportunity for the unions to create a media poop-storm to educate the public.
Maybe it's time for a new regional pilot and f/a union.
QUOTE=Flyhayes;1644077]Actually it might be good for regional pilots if the fast food workers prove to be successful in their fight. I'm sure the general public would find it hard to swallow the fact many of the pilots flying them around dark and stormy nights make less than a fast food worker.
Now how do we get the Unions to take out full page ads in the New York times on our behalf?
(as a point of history, the Pan Am pilots pooled their funds into a New York Times ad that acted as a turning point for the airline during a time when the government was content with watching the airline fail)

You are the union, you are a member right? I don't know if you hold an elected position with your union, but maybe you should consider it. It's only as strong as those who serve.
I would however agree that maybe a new union could be a step in the right direction as alpa unions typically represent the interests of major airlines, not regionals.
