Or I wonder if RAH could present another LBFO and claim the previous one didn't count since the Teamsters never accepted it.
there has been in impasse for about 4-5 years, why would the nmb release the pilots to strike now? it will never happen. washington will never voluntarily be the cause of a disruption in transportation and commerce over this nonsense. this was never a true LBFO, why? Didnt BB say if the pilots didnt agree to it quickly then the company would not hesitate to pursue an alternative path to "maximize shareholder value" and a bunch of other drivel about non consensual restructuring? Well, we're waiting.
