1. The basis of all employee/employer relations in this country is contractual. NOTHING else really matters in the long term.
2. A required component of a legal contract is equal STANDING. Either party must be able to enforce the document, or it is coercive.
3. There's only one company, so there can only be one entity on the other side. Fedex can't write 4500 individual pilot contracts (though interestingly this is being tried at Jetblue I hear....) Therefore there is representation.
4. The bottom line: it's all PERSONALITY. Like any organization - a company, the military, your church, the scouts, the neighborhood watch - most everything depends on who you put in charge. Anybody who b!tches about DW: did you vote in your last ALPA election? Do you go to meetings?
