Now that this politically influenced, bribe accepting, no respect for the working class, piece of ... sorry excuse for a judge decided to once again slap pilots in the face, NOW WHAT HAPPENS?

Apparently, since a strike would stop commerce, that disallows the pilots the RIGHT to strike? I don't understand much about the Railway Labor Act, so please feel free to enlighten me on how EXACTLY that works, but isn't it a union's RIGHT to strike? Isn't that why we have "representation" and unionize?

I am sure we have all said this before while complaining at the fllight levels, but when the price of meat goes up, does McDonald's go to its employees and say, "you need to take a pay cut because the price of meat went up." Or, do they raise the price paid by the consumers? Hmmm...

We can't strike at SkyWest because we are not recognized as an ORGANIZED labor group, correct? So what the heck is the frickin' point of the Railway Labor Act, as well as unions, if something like this judge's decision is allowed to happen? And this isn't the first time! It seems like these judges have been ruling in favor of management since 9/11, gojet not being an alter ego comes to mind, and I thought someone else was not allowed to strike? And of course what they have done to the majors is just sickening. It wouldn't be that bad if the majors are going to get some of it back, but that doesn't seem to likely.

However, it was GREAT to hear that AWAC finally won something in court. So my point with this thread is to perhaps gather some intelligent thoughts on what the next step is. I have heard ALPA is trying to get every airline together??? I don't know if that means we all strike together or what, but has anyone else heard this? Does anyone else think that this will work? It sounds like management has better lawyers than we do - ha! So what are we going to do? Since we are not union, what are they doing to prevent this stuff from happening? Especially Teamsters, you don't hear too much about them in the news. Thanks!
