Granted, unions have their issues, but IMO they are the only things that keep us from flying for free!!....AGAIN I SAY...You sir are an idiot.....
Actually thats not true at all. While the goal is always to get the cheapest labor there are limits. Just look at the airlines that keep having to drop their minimums. At some point the pool of applicants will dry up and then wages will have to go back up. I guarantee you this. If management stopped paying pilots the industry would collapse overnight. Plus the government would step in on that one, a thing called minimum wage remember. Regardless to say if they only paid minimum wage to all pilots no one would fly anymore. That is what truly sets the payscale. Unions try and use artifical barriers but in the end its really what the market will bear. If people stopped applying all together and said theyd love to work for the airline but want more money then they would raise the wage to a point where people agree to report for duty. Obviously the market is still bearing these wages why because even with paycuts we still do pretty darn well, especially the captains. The union is corrupt because they didn't let their members vote on it. Its never a waste of time to give every person the chance to vote on issues that concern them. The opinion was "formed" by the vocal minority. No worries though the flying will goto Mesa. Why reward mesa by letting them get growth and maybe a good contract later. You have to make them pay for their decision by getting the airplanes away from them so at least they aren't growing for being so cheap.
