[QUOTE="Scuba Steve, post: 2662536, member: 51466"] I fly multiple times every week. Flight attendants are not as hot as they use to be... US carriers a number of them would have issues fitting thru emergency exit doors. International carriers like Virgin and Emirates are a different story, there is some quality talent there. If you're a pilot flying regional jets, you will make more at McDonalds. Only reason you do it is to build hours to get on with a major. Your quality of life will suck for a number of years until you can get on with a major. I'm against right to work. I believe in Unions. I'm Republican and have a management position outside of UPS. Unions and management provide a check and balance for both the workers and the company. UPS has proven this for over a century. The wheels start falling of the wagon when you have companies against unions competing against union shops i.e. FDX and UPS. I feel unions have not done a good job at organizing the competition. Wages between the companies reflect this. It affects UPS because of an unfair playing field. It affects the UPS employees because they make a decent wage over the competition but at the cost of higher stress and workloads competing against non union labor. Companies have a responsibility to their employees. Todays world everybody is expendable. Union leaders have to step it up organizing the competition and protecting American workers and jobs.
