OK, Guys, once again-
What we really need is a Guild . . . . . one that says "From this day forward, no Pilot will operate a B___ aircraft for less than $___. per hour.
Your existing union is still your union, but they cannot negotiate any pay rates below the rate set by the national Guild.
This way, the issue of pilot pay is "off the table". It cannot be used as a competitive advantage any longer.
.
You forget the thousands of stock options a year they get. If the options are structured well and the company takes off (no pun intended)then those pilot may just be millionaires in the future.
Bring in pilots from Malaysia and have them crew a 777 for a month then fly home for a week off for $1500/mo?

We've had our share of disagreements in the past, and that's fine.. but this is one place that I agree with you 100%.. I've been plugging this idea for a while now. I even though about setting up a non-for profit to start it up, and get members slowly to join and over time have it turn into a force to reckon with.
It's too bad we don't some very wealthy guy out there interested in this cause to help capitalize it. These "Corporate" ALPA, Teamsters, and independent unions aren't cutting it..
Well then I recommend we all vote Democrat so we don't have more judges, mediators, and civil servants nominated by the likes of incoming Republican George Bush union bashing wannabes.
W has almost effectively stymied any power the unions have.
