Dude, let me make something perfectly clear. There wasn't a second shooter on the grassy knoll and Elvis is really dead. There is no conspiricy. I don't like unions because of what their actions have done to my career. I have a right to speak about my experiences. My specific reason for posting is because I wanted to tell about the dark side of unions for those that only listen to union supporters. Unions only blame management and never accept any blame. When management accepts blame and steps down, unions call it a victory. Never once in the decades I've been in aviation have I ever seen a union admit a mistake and willingly make an adjustment for it like many airline CEOs have.
In the beginning of my posts, I stand by one simple sentence. "Be careful what you ask for." Two layoffs for me, divorces and suicide from friends during a union action secured my opinion forever about unions. The divorces were pilot union members, and the suicide would have never happened if the union action had not occured. It makes no difference that I'm financially better off, or that I have a better job now that is specifically within my chosen field. The career disruption(s) really sucked and I didn't ask for them. I have a right to let others know that it can happen. Furthermore, I have a right to state that a union action can't happen if a union isn't on the property.
176 posts from me, and at least 10 times that many defending it.
The union membership doth protest too much, methinks.
Very cool. You aren't my target audience and are already tainted!
Union-busting is a multi billion dollar a year industry. I don't think that concluding someone who chooses to spend as much time on this message board as you do might have an ulterior motive, makes me a conspiracy theorist.
Look I had a bad experience with Tequila once (well more than once) but you won't find me on the Cuervo website making 176 post about the experience.
Face it, you are hear for a reason. I think we all know what that reason is. It will be interesting after we have our contract to watch you suddenly disappear, just as those of your ilk (I love the word "ilk" don't you?) did after NJ got theirs. As for protesting to much... right back at ya.
Are new members advised that their strike benefits probably won't cover the cost of cobra health insurance payments during a work action? That's usually a very ugly surprise.
I only said that there isn't a conspiracy, why I posted and the valid reason(s) I don't like unions. That is taking exception?
I'm on the floor laughing :laugh: that somebody took time to go through my posts. If you look deep enough you might find my connection with Amelia Earhart.
Nothing better to do?
