Perhaps I erred in calling the thread Pilots' Cooperative.
What I was thinking of was an airline where all employees are stakeholders who in good times would be rewarded commensurately. (Am sure we can think of profits made recently by certain airlines, none of which goes back to the workforce!)
I am by no means an expert but I believe John Lewis work along these lines?
thepotata232, I take on board what you say about United Airlines so it would be necessary to ensure the Ts and Cs are suitable.
