    This is very, very last thing the airlines need. Let's see, unions have destroyed the garment industry, steel industry, and now, the airline industry. What else can they destroy in our country?

    I guess that the only thing that would make unions happy, is if all the airlines went chapter 11, and laid off thousands of their people, just like Usairways is doing, only much much bigger,,The unions don't know what they have, until they don't have it no more...YHS
