I agree with you Kaptin M. Your union is only as strong as its members. I'm suprised at the number of guys I speak to who are not a member of the feds, simply stating that the feds let them down at the last EBA negotiations etc.... If you want the union to do a better job join them, and become active. Management loves an inactive union and will try to wield the sword more knowing the union is less active.
So like Kaptin M I encourage all who are not members to become members (it is tax deductable) and protect your own and your fellow "professional pilots" conditions.
