I was reading the earlyer part of this thread. I just want to throw in an opinion. The fact is an AA BK has happened. APA pilots will loose. As much as I love a Jimmy Hoffa type approach times have changed and the law is gives the airline the power. Don't fight the airline or other airmen, regional or other majors. Focus your efforts on what can really change this. Government! Put this effort into your senators and local officials. Make them aware and follow up.
Airline bk is like getting legally robbed. Vote YES and get robbed or vote NO and get robbed and your house taken as well.
