The latest ALPA magazine highlights the forces of globalization...
IMHO, the fight has never been more real and urgent than now for US pilots flying US registered jets for US companies....
The maritime industry is an example to follow with flags of convenience, foreign ownership and foreign crews. Consider a B787 or A380 registered in one country, own by a corporate "citizen" of another country and operated by crews of another country. And the heavy mx is done in another country. What others have planned for labor in the US Air Line Industry (if it still exists) doesn't include paying wages consummate to an American standard of living.
What we have in our favor is National Security, CRAF and safety.
When will the pain of the status quo motivate you to take action? If you do participate, the Air Line Pilot career you save might be your own.
