You know that there's a fairly large regional airline where I live, right? I'm avoiding the place as long as I can because they're non union and I think the pay is too low. I'm pulling my hair out right now looking at some really horrible phase 2 bid packets for my base wondering why I'm not driving to work, but I don't want to be in a position where I have to accept substandard pay and lose my union protection. If it comes to that because I end up on the street, so be it, but at this point I'll keep doing this crappy commute, hope I can get a base transfer here in the next 12 months and then when I can I fully intend on doing whatever I can once I'm able to join union committees, but during my first year there's little I can do.
