As a potential cadet reading through these forums fills me with utter dread.
I have come from/still work in an industry which has a very strong union basis and has the workforce interests still at heart for the majority of the time.
This does not seem apparent in the aviation industry... Can anybody shed some light on this?
To be harsh, and as above, it is because someone like yourself, who understands more than most how industry / unions can work, is prepared to compound the problem as a "
potential cadet" i.e. despite you seeing the issues of oversupply, you are happy to add to the problem?
I cannot easily see how even an effective union could resist the consequences of such oversupply, and willingness to "pay to fly".
