They blame the union when there is a furlough, and ALPA did nothing to fight it.
Same goes for the pension issues. US Airways gave away the pension, and ALPA allowed them to do it with very little fight or trade off. Suddenly the company was making profits and buying aircraft.
Nobody is blaming the union for action of the company, but rather for rolling over when we needed them the most.
Anyone that thinks a union will protect you fully during bankruptcy or after (God forbid) some terrorist flies an airplane into a building is kidding themselves. That said the committee structure at B6 is broken and is doomed to fail out of the gate. How many times to we have to repeat the process before some will learn?
