I too worked 135 without any of the protections I have now, and understood the realities of it.Do you?
And I agree to an extent with what you're saying. It's certainly not reasonable to demand that every licensed commercial pilot be allowed to bypass security. Your post, however, made it sound like pilots at 135 companies just need to "unionize and make your company pay the small CASS fee." As you apparently know, it's not always so simple.
