So you think absent the NMB and the RLA, pilots would make twice what they make now? Really? Honestly not trying to start something...but why? There is no shortage of pilots right now working for what we make...the workforce is unionized, so the contracts are already negotiated...and at the end of the day, while the RLA and NMB put rules might make it harder to strike, it is still and option and still happens.
Comair walked for 90 days. Remove the RLA and NMB and pilots make twice as much (or whatever)...? makes no sense.
