I spent 30 years in the aviation industry. anyone with a brain could see that the majors were heading for a fall. All of them wanted to be number 1, be the biggest. Management ran the companies, they ruined them, not the unions. There is not a union hater here that did not take all the money he could get during his working life.
Those that say they had their own business, charged every dime they could get for whatever service or product they sold. I find these people to be hypocrits. I always took every penny I earned, it is difficult to believe that some here turned down making money.
