That's funny... did you contribute to the UAL Bankruptcy causing the loss of jobs for thousands of ALPA pilots after 9/11?

No I joined the military to go (hurt) all those responsible, and break their stuff.

No one in their right mind would do this job without union protection... and you can already opt out, even before this law (which would be idiotic at best).

No, you can't opt out of the payments. UAL is agency shop, meaning if you aren't a member of the union, you still pay a "maintenance" fee for the contract. You can opt out of the union, but you still have to pay.

Isn't that important detail the target of the proposed legislation? My read is that they're trying to outlaw agency shop, i.e. The right to work without having to pay.

So day one on the APC forum and you've established yourself as a troll with a 9/11 conspiracy fixation. <golf clap>
