Nice barking, but I think it's up the wrong tree.

Nobody here seems to be complaining that the union isn't helping non union members, quite to the contrary. Being let down by your union when you're a card carrying member is a massive slap in the face and it's happened to plenty of GA pilots.

One of the problems is that low paid GA pilots lack the time and means to attend union meetings, so there's a total lack of representation and therefore voice from GA. This in turn allows GA pilots to slip under the radar whilst the attending airline pilots get to bitch and moan about the ridiculous and the petty.

I'd like to finish by saying that I know of at least a couple of state meetings in recent years that were held in a pub. I think that speaks volumes in itself.
