Now everyone in the industry will want to work for this airline so they will be able to hire from a much bigger (and better?) pool of applicants.

Cue the other airlines: "Nobody wants to work anymore!"

Indeed, unions don't just help your company, they help workers across the industry as they force every competing company to improve conditions to keep workers.

But they will have to pay competitive wages 😭
