So, you don't know the history of the RLA?
What this really means is it goes into mediation eventually, forget the union and pilots, the .gov will decide your fate.
If you were clever you might know this, or you could keep believing in "leverage". Ain't no such thing in this case.
You are at the mercy of .gov for rules and contract settlement, the union is just a business to harvest the money between the start and end of negotiations. Enjoy.
