We are still allowed to strike, unfortunately only after being released by the NMB. Those are the rules currently in place. You can play by them or take your chances but they aren't changing soon under the current national political environment.
Oberon, every time we line pilots ask about restoration, this is the answer we get, "Look what happened to American! The NMB parked them! We don't want that...so let's settle for 3% raises!" or words to that effect.
If the RLA and the NMB are the roadblock to restoring this career, WHY are we not attacking THAT problem? (The RLA and the NBM?)
