A bit rich Elperro to have a dig at someone 'attacking' you when your busy having a spray on anything a union may or may not have done.
There are some forms of employment that give you a choice of joining a union, civil aviation being one. If you are involved in it one day you may understand why you would want to be in one.
There are other forms of employment where you don't have a choice to be part of a union. You may be aware of one? It gives you things like the Aircrew Sustainability Project, ground jobs, postings to ground jobs around the corner. You didn't like the ASP but what can you do about it? Complain to the S/L who just got posted to DP?
You may have something in your DNA against unions and we all know unions have done bad things, but most rational people would acknowledge they have done some good as well.
A pilot in RPT with no union would have as much chance of negotiating with the people who run airlines as a boggie talking to Shep about avoiding a ground job and getting a payrise.
