Saw it on an airline pilots' message board, and they were pretty steamed. This tool needs to hear from people outside the airline industry - he thinks airline workers are paid too much, management ought to be able to take away their defined-benefit pensions, and - most insulting of all - flight attendants are too old and fat.

1. I wonder if these non-union ass's realize that (in many union shops) the settlement of union

workers aids the non-union staff. In the hotel resort property that I worked, the wages that unions negotiated dictated what non-union members received. (closed shop, by the way)

2. The amount of disrespect shown to unions is incredible

Unions' ability to collectively bargain and form a cohesive message is a big part of what gave American workers any rights in this country. My, how soon we forget!

Pilots are certainly tired of being abused.

I wish them well.
