The airline industry in a Post-9/11 world is an unfair comparison.
And compare your retirement health care benefits with those of GM and Ford. Who's would you rather have?
And you still haven't answered if you are still a card carrying member. |

I burned those da** union cards when I got a real job.
And BS on that "Post-9/11 world" crap. Seems to me that Southwest managed to weather the storm as well as any company -- mainly because they were healthy before 9/11 -- and they were healthy because they weren't bound to ridiculous union contracts and pension requirements that the legacy carriers had.
Newsflash: The automakers are shedding their retirement benefits as fast as they can.
So now name me one company / industry that has prospered because of a partnership with a union. Furthermore, name me one competitor (even just a plain old call center operation) that is unionized.
