That's the Moak way of thinking. You've been brainwashed.
The union has collaborated with management in their use of the RLA to control pilot activism.
Moak's DALPA loved that injunction we got slapped with after the 49er incident. It was useful for them.

Those days are over.

The corporation is drowning in cash. They are struggling to figure out what to do with it all. Everybody is getting paid except us. Management is accumulating fabulous wealth. They are pocketing every dime of what used to be our pensions.

If we don't have a contract soon there will be consequences.
There are plenty of perfectly legal things we can do to express our displeasure.

Informational picketing is only step 1.
Step 2 is a hard-nosed communication effort. We need to call "Bu||$hit" every time Dickson or some other management drone sends out a memo encouraging us to work harder so they can win a JD Power Award and pump the stock so they can get even richer.

Then we need to put out a detailed handout to every non-contract employee explaining what just happened to their profit sharing and how that sweet 14% raise just might turn out to have been a pay CUT.
etc.
etc.
Step 10 is an all out effort to unionize every employee on this property.
Starting with the flight attendants.
