Air France's Cabin Crew called a strike and were only able to ground 12% of the operations. That's nearly no bargaining leverage.
If Comair or ASA or some regional of ours went on strike then doesn't the union monitor the routes and so forth to prevent us from flying struck work. Wouldn't the union keep track of this as well?
Such that if AF shifted over to DAL as long as we didn't up gauge a route we'd be compliant? I'd have to assume (DALPA) is monitoring this and assume we're not replacing them until we hear otherwise.
But it doesn't bode well for future strikes when JV and Skyteam can assist the lift but are we really replacing them?
