I feel for you brother and have been there. Get with your fellow pilots and have a plan, but everybody better be on board and it better be legal.
In spite of what ALPA may tell you, it is not just this administation that plays into this. After all, the same stuff happened under Clinton. Airline management sucks up to whoever is in office and tells them there will be ramifications in the polls if they permit a strike.
The only option is to do away with the RLA. I am all for it, and if we have a chance of doing so, it is probably better with a Republican in office. Unfortunately, ALPA and managment like things the way they are.
