I mean it makes sense, if you are opposed to one form of a basically labor government, I wonder if you don't like having a US government period. Of course, then you are still under the sole control and disgression of a dictarship (management).

Here's what I'm getting at, who is the US government? - As a democracy, it's a collection of all the citizens. Who is ALPA? - It's a collection of all the airline pilots in it's association. People spout off here anti-ALPA stuff all the time like it's some monster alien force.

Anarchy, no. Don't quite follow your reasoning there. What you don't see on Flightinfo since it's a vastly pro-union audience is that there are many of us who are opposed to unions of any kind. We believe in free-market capitalism. Not socialism where everyone is made to feel equal when they aren't and given pay raises and promotions based solely on longevity. I would much rather earn my job and its benefits than be handed what my "peer group" has demanded from its employer. I will never be part of the mentality that says to my company "I know you hired me with certain pay and benefits known to me in advance, but that's not working for me anymore, so either give me more or I'll shut this place down". You talk about selfishness? That's the best example of "screw everyone else but me" I've ever seen.




Very good...Then by your own words "I know you hired me with certain pay and benefits known to me in advance"? Well when I was hired we had annual COLA every year in addition to longevity pay, and our medical and dental benefits were almost totally covered by the company, along with a $16 annual fee for our 401K which was paid by the company. Then the company decided to charge us more and more every year for medical and dental along with big increases in copays and deductibles, and oh yeah they got rid of our COLA so that our real income has decreased every year for the last 6 years! Is that what you meant when you stated "talk about selfishness"?????
