You probably think this parody makes the FAA look bad, but let me
assure you, it makes the union look unprofessional, frivolous, and
imprudent. If this satire is an example of the union's attitude
toward air safety, it is shameful, and it works against garnering
public support.
I've been a member of a labor union for fifty years, and I respect
what can be accomplished by a union dedicated to providing highly
skilled and well trained workers, and the brotherhood a union fosters
among its members. If this video-spoof truly reflects the
controllers' union attitude, it has killed any support I may have once
felt it deserved.
The successful labor union works cooperatively with employers; an
openly hostile and adversarial relationship will not provide the
membership what it seeks. In fact, it makes reaching an acceptable
agreement improbable. Union demands must be reasonable, and provide
win-win solutions to the issues they face.
Thank you for the insight into the insincerity, and sleazy
impertinence of what should be a dedicated and dignified body.
