Even if they do really good things and I benefit from them (which is often the case), I should still have a choice in the matter. Unless of course you hate freedom.
You've completely derailed and now you're just embarrassing yourself. Slavery?!!! Getting hired at a union carrier is 100% YOUR choice. How many slaves to you think voluntarily applied for their "jobs"? You have zero working knowledge of this industry and unionism's role in it.

I've read enough of your drivel now to say this with confidence. Your arrogance and unwillingness to listen and learn is dangerous in the cockpit. Please reconsider your career choice. There will inevitably be a time in this industry when we again need to stick together as a group. Luckily, with the exception of a few hundred SCABS, my brother and sisters at my airline understand this.

I've wasted way too much time on this. But when EVERYONE who you might eventually be working with is telling you you're in the weeds, do you really assume that we are all wrong and you're somehow the enlightened one? That'll get you killed in an airplane someday. But what do I know, right?

Needs to be seen again...and read by OP this time.

Freedom is knowing the conditions of employment upon receiving an offer, and having the choice to accept or decline.

Let me guess, you're one of these clowns who believes you don't have to pay federal taxes too because of 'freedom' and 'the constitution'? Get a clue pal!

The Kid has no clue. Companies can still unionize in right to work states.
