If they do pull any such stunt, two things need to happen: 1. Up our representation game. 2. NEVER lift one finger to help management in any of their multitude of causes (ie lobbying for mergers, lobbying for slot swaps [yeah we got burned on that one too] and a multitude of other company interests where they want us to lend a helping hand) ever again!!!
You can only be used as a pawn so much ("hey we are all working together for mutual goals and interests") before you realize everything is completely one sided. Time to sober up and fight back.
