Unions did a commendable job in saving the tens of thousands of pensions that were lost by many a US pilots in the last decade.....not!
And what a wonderful helpful bunch they were to the Aussie pilots 20 years ago....not!
Having been unionised and non unionised, I have no preference either way. For the very few times that I felt the need to contact them for advice, I was always disappointed by their response.
