Real quick:
A million schools, will teach you how to fly an airplane.
But none of them, teach you about trade unionism, labor relations with management, or how the real inner workings of the airline industry can ultimately put you out on the street.
It's not good marketing to do such.
Furthermore, it troubles me that there are those out there who act this way - and who hold a higher seniority number than myself.
But hey - whatever. . .the ignorant and naive ones are just who management wants driving the planes around.
