Why does your union allow non-paying pilots to get all those great bennies?

The 47% line was just a political sound-bite. Who are the 47%?

I very much enjoy this concept and I see some of you do too. Busboy has made a good argument for low wage pilots to not pay any union dues at all. Perhaps the entire bottom half?
"The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them... To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just as long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies – all this is indispensably necessary. Even in using the word doublethink it is necessary to exercise doublethink. For by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of doublethink one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinitely, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth."
Orwell
