Exactly! He's a corporate CEO at heart. Has been vocally anti-union since the 80's. If you think he's coming to a union worker's defense. You're kidding yourself. See how fast guys like that would open up a regional model and start outsourcing flying to Republic or Moxy.

I don’t think it’s democrat vs republican. It was trump specifically hypothetically being CEO of Spirit. I can only say it would never happen and if it did it would only be bad for the pilots. I think we can let this die.

Yeah maybe more union friendly but they take more of your money and there are less jobs available. I hope you all are enjoying more money in your paychecks.

Maybe. But that hasn't resulted in any tangible benefits from the White House. Clinton ordered the American pilots back to work and raped the working man with NAFTA. Obama was willing to destroy two hundred years of bankruptcy law and precedent to payoff the UAW though. And Obama did violate the law and appoint three members to the NLRB during 'recess' which was struck down by the courts. So I will have to give the illegitimate Prez some props for that. However, neither, and we'll have to include Bush 41 and 43 as well, did nothing to tame China and their pillaging of intellectual property or the destruction of numerous US industries and jobs. Trump may not be as labor friend but even Soros agrees, that on China, Trump is right as rain.

I wonder who would be worse; Ted or Trump?
