And when did I say being non-union was the way to go? Republic and GoJet have unions. I mentioned they were growing. I was specifically talking about ALPA but you turned it into a generic union argument. You brought the straw man to the party.

XJT is not being reduced in IAH, it is actually getting larger...

Hmm, maybe most if the new bases are being staffed with aircraft out of ORD. How is IAH getting larger? Are they pulling more 135s out if the desert or re-shuffling flying?

So you are comparing non-union SAPA to the dysfunctional IBT at Gojet and RAH? Anyway, my comments are the same about ALPA regardless. The three ALPA carriers you brought up, comair, pinnacle, and XJT are all better off with ALPA than with anything else.

What union do you belong to?

How can u say that, when ALPA is all you know. ALPA can suck rocks for all I care. They did absolutely NOTHING for those at Comair. Oh wait, they did collect more money for a bogus merger fund.

How do you know what I know? I've flown at a non-union shop as well. Don't pretend to know what you don't know cause you look foolish when you do.

As for comair, just ONE example, do you honestly believe management would have given the pilots as much as a severance as they did if anything at all if it wasn't for ALPA?

I don't pretend to know anything and I really don't care what you know. ALPA is garbage, plain and simple.

It could be argued that the Union destroyed Pinnacle
