Instead of having no timeline to come to an agreement before a cooling off period, say negotiate for 2 years, no agreement - automatic proffer and wait for another 6 months, no agreement - automatic 30 day cooling off agreement. Something like that. How can the rules be proposed to be changed?
Here's a good, quick 1-page briefing on the RLA as applied to airlines from 1938 to present: Railway Labor Act - Airline Labor Relations
