Hey Herk,
Home | The Coalition of Airline Pilots Associations
I would start with these guys. I'm at UPS and we are a member of CAPA, a coalition of in-house pilot unions. You've got some heavy hitters here at CAPA, American, Southwest, UPS, etc...

I would first educate yourself on the Railway Labor Act (yes it covers airlines too), a good place to start is:

Office of Legal Affairs

After that, I would suggest contacting the representation office of the union you are interested in.

ALPA has some folks that will lead you if that's the way you want to go.
