Yes indeed. I think that's called "labor risk". What has happened to this pilot group? How did we turn into a group with so many tsquares and sinkr8's that become unhinged at the very mention of the word strike?

That's not the question. The question is: Can we replicate the strategy of preparing the pilots for use of the strike weapon if it becomes necessary as the DAL MEC did with C2K?

Why don't you just say what you really mean dude. You're really just using ALPA's favorite scare tactic of claiming the NMB will park everyone forever unless you accept what management offers. You've always been a long standing rock solid supporter of all things ALPA, but when you guys do this, it's a terrible disservice to this pilot group.
