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.
My use of the term 'administration' does not refer to the current president or his political party. My frustration lies with the NMB and it's members, who are presidentially appointed. They make the decision to release a pilot group into self-help. This is a rare occurence with the current NMB.
