Now I can see your argument if you want all the RLA benefits that accrue to railroad employees extended to us. But to get rid of the RLA entirely means economic suicide for America.
Railroad labor is not even included in the RLA Amy more. Where have you been? Look at the west cost ports that were under the RLA a few years ago that went on strike.... Where they all rounded up and arrested? Pilots are idiots for believing that the RLA has power over them. If the union had any power at all they would hold a strike vote and go on strike, but they will arrest everyone.
