absolutely. Teachers union was way out of line. Especially in Washing State.

and yes, public sector Unions are nothing like skilled labor Unions. They just hold the Govt hostage until they write a check. A check using my money.

Explain why Teachers make near-poverty wages. They aren't allowed to strike. They have been made into a decades=long boogeyman without any evidence.

Let me ask you this. Do you feel the same way about Police unions?

LOL It's obvious you do not have any friends or loved ones who are teachers

this is the issue. I have met like 2 transgendered people my entire life. But we’re conditioned by our media overlords to be at each others throats about stuff that doesn’t effect us. A liberal and a conservative pilot care about the exact same things they just don’t realize it:

1. how much money do I make
2. how safe is my communiry
3. how good our the schools for my children
4. can we keep these good times rolling in perpetuity

everything else is just culture war BS dreamed up by suits in board rooms in LA and NY to get you guys to jump and you fall for it every single time like Pavlov’s dogs.

The problem is the “normal liberals and conservatives” have been sidelined by extremist ideologies on both sides of the spectrum. There is no more compromise, no negotiation. It’s scorched earth tactics and you’re either in or out. I’m tired of the virtue signalling, identity politics, and antisemitism.

[mod input] A gentile reminder that partisan politics is not permitted on the forums. Keep the discussion on the topic of whether schools starting early in some states is affecting the airline industry, please.

//////////

Frankly, most (maybe all?) of the dozen+ states I've lived in start school in August, and 'early' August wasn't all that out of the norm. Neither I nor my kids attended any school that started in September, though I remember my Mom who grew up in New England say she always started afer Labor Day. It's been region dependant for decades, AFAIK.
