Have the unions outlived their relevance? Especially ALPA.
We all agree that airline employees (especially pilots) are grossly overpaid (humor me for a second).
We know that ALPA has captured excessive pay for a small group of pilots, probably to some extent at the expense of a vast number of sweatshop pilots who are willing to slug away at poverty wages in order to someday capture the overpaid, easy lifestyle of a major airline pilot.
Now that ALPA has proved irrelevant at retaining even the most senior of all pilot perks (the pension) is it not time to put a fork in ALPA (and perhaps other unions)? (Long live APA!)
It is now evident that even National ALPA may be planning on using US Air to enrich other major airlines (haven''t heard a peep out of D.W.) in the same manner that is seems they have used Comair and other sweatshops in the past to enrich the majors.
Should employees not save their dues for their own pocket, and be like all the employees of the rest of corporate America?
Perhaps without unions, wages would seek their normal level...
when pigs fly.
