Anyway, yes, you are right, leaving is similar to striking, but I will do so on my terms, and not because I am trying to send a message to anyone, but rather because I don't want to be here anymore. I signed on to this job knowing what the conditions of the contract were, and it would be hypocritical of me to strike or quit when I came in knowing what it would be like.

Dood, he did not lie about it. BA was in a leadership position with PATCO. You are miss informed. JB has not lied about anything so far. Because we may not agree with him, does not mean he is a liar.
ASA_Aviator said:By the way, I am willing to hang my job on the line in defense of anyone. Being anti-union is not the same as being against my colleagues. Unions just tend to have a thug mentality, and an anti-intellectual attitude, and I find it to be very distasteful. If I wanted to be a thug, I would move to East Point...

D'Angelo said:Props to you my friend!If the union truly wanted a democracy then they would give you a choice if you wanted to be in or not.If you talked like that on the flight deck I'd slap the headsets off your head.They like running things like old russia or how Tony Soprano runs things in Jersey. Its either their way or the highway. If you actually dare think for yourself they just go ballistic. If you dont agree with what the majority says they want to use violence to try and scare you into thinking their way. Sorry thugs but this is the USA.They do dumba$$. But you pay the dues cause you still live under the contract that the union negotiated.There are a lot of people who pay dues because they are forced to not because they want to be in the union. Its either pay the dues or get fired.Get off the crack pipe! Yeah, its like that, idiot.If the union was really that unified then why does membership need to be forced? If they are so confident why not give people a choice if they want to be in or not? Oh thats right they are protecting us from actually enjoying our jobs because we are all supposed to be avid management haters. Im all for letting whoever wants to be in a union be in one but why force everyone into it?Noone forced you to apply for an take a job at a union airline. It was there before you and it will be there after you. Go fly corporate or a non union airline.
