I understand that and am not trying to change minds. I'm just trying to present a different point of view and at least have people acknowledge and consider it. That doesn't mean 'changing their mind' about it. But it seems that so many of the pro-unioners here are so caught up in it that they don't even consider the validity of the non-union viewpoint, even though I have considered the pro-union stance. This is how I make a well informed decision: Consider all sides.
Some examples that have made me not support the union tactics are: Writing up airplanes for the sole purpose of impacting the operation. Threatening a strike. Carrying discrepancies until the aircraft is in an inconvenient place for MX - just to affect the operation. Making up non-approved preflight lists that focus on grounding the aircraft instead of the claimed reason of being safe.
All of these are examples of things that I would not consider a professional to do - no matter what industry.
