I know I will probably get my head bitten off for this and excuse the ignorance but here goes anyway.
I have read many posts here about SCABS and why they are not welcome etc but how does the union expect a pilot who has a family, mortgage, car payments, school fees etc to pay to stay on strike and support the union line when they are getting further into a hole and cant afford to pay the bills. Isnt there a time when a pilot has to think about their own welfare and that of their family.
I know unions get their union dues from members all over the country for in some cases years without any strike action going on, so why cant they use those funds to supplement the income of the striking pilots while they are on strike. If they are not using those funds for things like this then what the heck are the union members paying those dues for.
You will have to pardon my ignorance on this as dont have a great understanding of unions and their benefits.
