Yes, obviously I have only heard bad stories about AirTran, but I have talked to employees of several airlines, Delta, JetBlue, Soutwest, Alitalia, and Saudi Arabian Airlines to name a few, that love their respective companies. And no matter how anyone feels about any airline they work for there will never be a need for a union. We're not in the late 19th and early 20th centuries anymore, when, because of a lack of labor laws, I agree that unions were necessary. There are so many laws on the books protecting employees of every description now, that the only thing a union is good for is taking money out of your paycheck and stifling communication. Why in the world would I want to pay a someone to bully my boss for something they would've gladly given me anyway. Somehow I can imagine this sparking a whole new thread about the usefulness/uselessness of unions.
