Why do airline pilots continue to rely on the "unions" for their jobs and their careers? The airline industry is broken, and the only way to fix it is to give unions the boot. The market will determine pay and ability/experience will determine assignmnets. The unions are artificially lowering the supply curve for pilots. Think if there were no union tomorrow, do you really think all pilots would lose their jobs? No. Would their salaries go down? Most definitely. Would there be as many young pups willing to fly for peanuts when there is no prospect to be making six-figs after five years? No. I understand that "that's just the way it is", and I don't think poorly about anyone for supporting the union, after all it is in their own best interest. Forgive me for being such an unadulterated capitalist; however, most people in other industries seem to do just fine without union representation.
