ONE HUNDRED PERCENT agree with the fine tuned thinking of King and the views of 411A.
If the unions had ANY say whatsoever in the scheme of things then your paycheque would have the ALPA-S president's authorised signature and not the company CFO's.So I guess the one who pays the bills and the salaries will be the one pulling ALL the strings won't he.
Just like King so rightly put.......NO BRAINER!!
