Question US Unions

Why do US pilots choose not to unionize? Are the annual dues too high, are you black listed or am I missing something? Genuine question from someone on the outside (military) looking in. What's up?

I think that PHI in the GOM did unionise didn't they?. Ask on <a href="http://www.justhelicopetrs.com," target="_blank">www.justhelicopetrs.com,</a> which is very US based.

Cheers

PHI has unionized, but many EMS pilots have chosen not to. I have also posted a similar question on justhelicopters.com, but received no feedback.

Unions,

It's like anything other large org. in the U.S. Where there is money, there is criminality. The unionists on <a href="http://www.justhelicopters.com" target="_blank">www.justhelicopters.com</a> will tell you how wonderful and above all that sort of thing unions are these days. Hahaha, if you believe that I have some swamp land for sale you might be interested in.
