I think the following should happen, even though I know it never will:
The remaining pilots at said airline need to just not show up one day. All of them. From there on, don't show up until management negotiates.........again, doubt this will happen either. The costs associated with cancellations and not fulfilling an obligation to say a bigger airline that both airlines operate for would be huge. There wouldn't be a lot of money to purchase new aircraft for other said airline, and possibly lose a contract with said larger airline.
But.......what do I know, I'm a lowly right seater with no qualifications or knowledge. AP on, FLC, window heat, pitot heat, let's eat!

We would probably all end up in prison or fined. Or both.
I know for a fact that "wildcat" strikes (one-day strikes) are a weapon used often in Europe and they are quite effective. Air traffic controllers in certain countries do it. The union tells them that at XXXX o'clock, on XX day, everyone is to completely stop doing what they are doing and not to resume working until they get what they want (there are exceptions for aircraft in distress). The management knows its coming and so as to avoid any catastrophes they give the union what it wants before the strike.
Anyways, from what I've been told, wildcat strikes are illegal in the States, regardless of who is in Office. I think they would be great...
But then again, what do I know, I'm just a kid who has no life experience. Gear up, george on, george off, gear down, repeat as necessary.
