As, very much, an outsider, I am interested to know, what is your assumedly, strong union doing to protect you long term? What I heard, they have accepted to take contract prostitutes (like me) as long as the existing guys keep their T's & C's. . .isn't that a rather short term/defeatist solution ? basically it is saying, the good days are done, protect who is here today, & tomorrows guys ? well, you are f*cked.
Well nobody gets ****** without first lowering their pants, right?
By working on (I assume) rather short term contracts here and there you automatically pull in the opposite direction of all traditional and hard working pilot unions. Expecting these same unions to protect future jobs, yours as well, is in my eyes pretty arrogant or naive at best.
