No doubt, Loose rivets, pilots nowadays would call their union rep, for some 'advice'.
I really have to laugh at some of the newer guys at the pointy end.
Apparently, they truly believe that their pilot union will come to bat for them, no matter what.
Hmmm, the ex-pilots at EAL, Braniff, PanAm, TWA...(the list goes on and on) and especially with the pension difficulties and pay give-backs, the union, be it ALPO, or indeed any other, just takes a back seat in todays low cost, cut-throat airline environment.
