Oh that's right I'm supposed to happily do the same job for half the pay and benefits except unlike previous generations I've had no real career progression for the sacrifice so I push for equal pay and benefits and get called every name in the book..... I bet you hate the 14th and (probably soon to be 28th) amendments to the Constitution as well.

Exactly! Very well said.

The notion that these companies didn't have scope contracts prior is nonsense. Management is not legally permitted to interfere with organizing, thus all flying in a union contract must be listed as permitted flying. Except in the case of Alaska, who for some reason has a reverse scope contract.
