Nope, no NSL discussion here. Unfortunately folks default to the NSL when the subject of consolidation of pilot labor representation is discussed. An NSL might be a byproduct of consolidation but it would only be possible after an entire generation of pilots has progressed through their careers. Voting by the AA pilots in without knowing all the possibilities of a NO vote in light of the RLA is what every pilot should be concerned about. It is the RLA, as administered by the NMB, that has permitted airline management to destroy the profession and the biggest failure of all is the lack of leadership by the associations in fighting to abolish or amend this antiquated regulation. The sad fact is that pilots are ignorant of their history and do not have the knowledge much less the guts to stand up and change the system.
