I agree that the Indian unions have definetly misused some of their power but if you were on this side of the fence and see first hand what it takes actually make it to a major airline in the US , I believe you would understand the necessity of a union.
By the way, If you could get your hands on "flying the line" exceptional read.

I defintely agree with that ALPA and other pilot unions have contributed a lot to making skies a lot safer.
By the way it seems "Flying the Line" is out of print for some time? Also doing an Amazon search, I found two editions? Is there a sequel?
