We are talking about 2 different things. You are talking about the union protecting the dead weight. I'm talking about productive employees (regardless of age) who pull more than their weight and still face job loss scenarios at the whim of management's poor decisions by trying to force them do illegal things to 'get the job done'. (like fly broken airplanes, or work over duty hours, etc.) Without the union's protection, those pilots who are doing the right thing, would have been fired.
And seniority is EVERYTHING in aviation...
