That is a broad bush you are using.... I know many "Union" (read previous ALPA members) that now work for non-union airlines, due to their airline going under (i.e; Aloha, ATA, and others).
You advocate kicking these guys (and gals) while they are down?

I don't post a response because I've responded over and over again already. No need to beat a dead horse.

Didn't Horizon suspend jumpseats with United over their policy a few years back. I'm remembering they did and it worked in the end.
Good for you guys. Finally sick of getting screwed by borderline scabs? It's one thing to give bush pilots a lift and another to help those dirt bags who are driving us all into the ground. I hope that it passes with flying colors.
As expected, after some open and honest debate, the resolution failed. It garnered exactly one (1) vote in favor.
