There wouldn't necessarily be any negotiating capital squandered, if it was mandated into law . . . . just like the Bar Association and the AMA.

I've been calling for a Guild for about ten years now, that would do two things-

1) Determine the entry standards into the ranks of Airline Pilot employment;

and

2) Set a minimum pay rate for seat and equipment.

You can still have an individual union (or a national one) that can negotiate better wages, rules, etc., but can never violate the minimums set by the Guild.

whoa, whoa... WHOAAAAAAAA!!!!

Are you infering that you may have to study to pass theATP??? Like you have to for the bar? Like... have actual working knowledge? Duuude. Don't take away all the "canned" checkrides of the ALLATPs world. D@mn, you guys are talkin crazy talk making people KNOW what they are talking about and being all professional before they get to a 50seat jet.

I hope everyone got the sarcasm there.

I believe that everyone should have an ATP to fly 121. FLAMEON!
