If this document doesn't make you mad as a pilot I don't know what should. The RLA prevents a strike as long as the status quo is maintained in negotiations. However the court can apparently prevent a strike in bankruptcy even though the status quo isn't maintained?!?! So apparently the company gets to have it's cake and eat it too as long as they declare bankruptcy?

We as pilots are slaves to one company due to the seniority system and the RLA prevents our self help in search of a contract because you have to maintain the status quo and yet the company can declare bankruptcy, change the contract AND prevent a strike? How is that status quo?
