Many say that as pilots we are our own worst enemy. I agree with that to a certain extent. I however believe the biggest culprit to our abysmal wages is our weak as pi$$ Unions. Our union leaders have no fight in them. Our unions need a clean out, fresh blood is needed asap, and the members needs to start pushing hard for this to happen.
