Wishful thinking or achievable?
It
is achievable, and the fact that this discussion (along with any number of previous ones like it) is happening at all should be the impetus for a concerted effort to act upon it. How many more bells need to clang before some hear the message ringing out that this is what is most desperately needed?
What you will find would
possibly happen is that many people with either expired membership or those who have never even joined in the first place for whatever reason (to be honest most have seemed to put it off due to what looks from the outside to be a fractured organisation at a grass roots level) would suddenly become more interested.
The outward concept of a union doing the most for those who pay the most needs to be addressed. Having been a union member in a strong union outside the aviation circle many years ago the message to all was always all for one, one for all..... Effectively putting the message to all that to get to the top you need to build (and help maintain) strength at the bottom. Quite different to the line that appears to be espoused in this industry at this time.
