This is the first video made by a former union buster.

Some 150 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) employees have a voice on the job after recently voting to join the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA). The air traffic control specialists are assigned to National Flight Services operations in Alaska and the weather unit of the Air Traffic Control System Command Center in Herndon, Va.

These employees previously were represented by the National Association of Air Traffic Specialists (NAATS). In 2005, NAATS represented more than 2,000 air traffic controllers, but the FAA contracted out the work of all the union members except for these 150.

With $2 water, $7 pillows and $25 checked-bag fees, when you get on an airplane these days you expect to see signs on the emergency oxygen mask compartments, "In case of emergency, swipe credit card."

Passengers aren't the only ones fed up with being nickled, dimed and dollared by the airlines. The Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA-CWA) and Air Line Pilots (ALPA) say if the airlines stopped handing out stock options, bonuses and perks and started making some sound business decisions, they'd have more money to pay the rising fuel costs—and maybe we could still get that pillow or water without shelling out.
