Dirty Deeds
I'm not a pilot, and I'm not a stirrer (well, not always).
If it was possible to get all pilots into one union, as you wish, how does the union negotiate pay and conditions for different airlines/aircraft operators? All just can't afford wages and conditions that, say, QF grant.
Could, say, QF state to the union that pay and conditions for XYZ operator which operates similar or same equipment is so much - so why should we pay more?
Please understand that I use QF only as an example as, from reading these message boards, they appear to pay the highest wages and give the most generous conditions.
Would it be better to get the total workforce of each different airline in the same union to do the bargaining/negotiations rather than many different unions pulling in different directions?
I don't know.
