Allegiant is obviously claiming that they are in compliance. So, it is in the judges hands at this point. He can 1) say the company has come into compliance and nullify our status quo strike. 2) he can side with our pilot group and THEN we are legally allowed to strike... and 3) he could actually give the company more time to comply.

I don't think we are allowed to just walk off at a time of our choosing.

My next question is in regards to having to what a status quo strike is allowed to accomplish. Does a status quo strike ONLY give us the power to bring status quo back?

I can't tell from any of the communications what the procedure on this thing is. If it only allows us to bring the company back to status quo.... who determines when that is accomplished? Are we allowed to go on a status quo strike and have an intense bargaining session to hash out our first contract?

Are we allowed to hold our "right to strike" and continue negotiating and have the strike as an immediate threat if there is still no progress?

Does anyone know if ANY airline has EVER done a status quo strike before? I have a feeling that our management and F&H are the only ones to ever just simply not comply with the status quo.

Thanks guys...
