LHC, you conveniently forgot to mention that the most profitable airline in the USA actually happens to be very well unionised. In fact, your leader loves to compare Ryanair with Southwest. In fact he claims to have modelled it on them. I think that blows your theory that the reason all the other majors are in trouble right out of the water. Must be something other than unions. Couldn't possibly be due to bad management now, could it?
A happy workforce equals a productive one.
