hmmm i wouldnt bash unions just yet. XJT has a fairly respectable contract, and i think in the next few years youre going to see ALPA recover a lot of what was given up after 9/11 the next time everyone goes to the table. then everyone will say "oh wow unions are awesome." And then the next time theres an economic downturn, guess whos going to get blamed for it... ALPA again. please remember that unions may not be anywhere near perfect, but they give you some very IMPORTANT rights and protection, and if you have to pay 2% of your pathetic salary for it, hey im all for it!
and i know this is just a repeat just like another thousand threads so just close the thread now

Not trying to spark a huge debate or anything..
what about capitalism and a free market economy? Can't you blame that for the pay cuts? I mean do you realy expect companies like jetblue, virgin, skybus to have never started? Its a free market, what did you expect was going to happen?
again i dont want to start a fight but it's just a discussion, i'm just asking quetions to find out what eveyones opinion is. To me it economically makes sense why LCC's are coming up and becoming successful.
