For the past twenty years each of those airlines where the sole source of revenue relied on it’s pilot services for the entire corporation; management talks tough and makes threats. Recent history shows pilots with the upper hand when pushed to a strike. The NWA 1998 strike is the most interesting of those examples. They were in negotiations for two years before being released and lasted less than 30 days. The other more like carrier, is the most recent; Spirit. Once released, it lasted single digit days. Comair is the aberration and shares the least in common with us: At the time wholly owned subsidiary of DAL and pay for departure airline. Not remotely related to our current company.
