Parking brake is the most effective tool ( for any airline ) to effect change and we keep working. So why does anyone glorify or feel strike in this day and age is worth anything but a nuclear option which serves zero purpose? This is not a north v south cojones issue either. Just curious what could a strike possibly serve that would benefit us in todays current enviroment?
Strikes DO work...They are similar in logic to another quote to be unspoken here but it goes like this "When it is the solution it is the ONLY solution"..In that at some point if the other side will not come around and play ball it the last resort but it does work...And I take absolute exception that it does nothing but hurt our families. That is just plain wrong.There was no great suffering in the NWA strike of 1998. Unless you are out for 3 months or longer it is just a speed bump in life..Your post is thoroughly lacking in redeeming value.
