How in the world do they do this

That's easy. Get a bunch of emotional kids to trade their pay (oh, and that of about 5000 other pilots) vacation, work rules and retirement for a chance to pretend to be union bigshots aka USAPA.

Shortsighted pilot stupidity is LCCs competitive advantage and they have exploited it to the fullest.

You can send the boys in Charlotte a fruit basket thank you if you want.
