No one wants to pay more than the gong rate for anything. To an employer, what makes one pilot more valuable than thousands of others with equal ratings? Of course I'm more valuable in my mnd but good luck convincing anyone else. Flying is not that exclusive and we all punch a clock. We would be better off improving the front end of our careers instead of trying to get it all at the end.

Yes lots of people will buy based on price, but not everyone. Some people want the best and are willing to pay for it. Businesses are the same way. They want the best most experienced pilots and are willing to pay for it.

Is that not the definition of free-loading - taking advantage of others' efforts while contributing nothing?

If unionism is such a good idea, then why do you have to force people to join?

But it's only fair that a non-union member pay a fee for the services provided, right? Why haven't you answered that question?
