why are you posting something like that on here lol

why you crying to me. can't help you bro

 Can a pilot opt out of the union? I worked a non aviation job once and we could decline union membership but of course we also had no union representation. In my case I negotiated my own pay And schedule.

wut the hell are you talk about sovereignty lol

The meaning of SOVEREIGNTY is supreme power especially over a body politic.  (Merriam-Webster)

So, if you mix class and crafts, you no longer have supreme power over your affairs (your political being).

You will have shared it with those not in your class and craft.   You will have elected officers outside your class and craft, including key positions of President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary.   You will forfeit your power as a class and craft to someone else.

if it's good enough for the airlines, it's good enough for us bro. try getting more sleep or something and quit bothering people with this nonsense

thanks,

the management

Once again, you could have provided the airline that does and proved me wrong.  But you didn't.

AIRLINE instructors are line pilots.  They are in the same class/craft as non-instructors, because they are all in the line pilot (flightdeck) class/craft

AMC instructors are not line pilots.  They are and were given a separate and distinct class and craft from the line pilots.  The union had a conniption fit if an instructor flew the line!   Some instructors didn't even have a Class II medical.  They are not the same class or craft!

So, you are 100% incorrect here!

let the instructors worry about themselves and you could spend more time shaving your vag 

see ya later thanks bye

... under the one MEC?

You yap, but you don't say much!

This again, you really need to get a better hobby. No one wants you or your stellar negotiating skills, move along. 

 Can a pilot opt out of the union? 

long answer also no

"Can a pilot opt out of the union?"

Yes, but you still pay agency fees. You still "benefit" from negotiated contracts, so you pay.

Not joining the union is surrendering your vote on policies to somebody else.

Winston Churchill once said that: “democracy is the worst form of government – except for all the others that have been tried.”

Unions work best when members are active. If members don't control the Local, they're surrendering one self interested bureaucracy for another. Your principled opposition is valuable.

That is the funniest thing I have ever read.

Thank You

... you are paying MORE than someone who "joins" because they charge you full price, but reimburse members cash here and there.

AGENCY FEE PAYERS should not have to pay more than ANY member!   If they do, they are not paying their fair share; they are paying much more than their fair share!
