The issue is that NMB is controlled by the president and until we get a new one (one who is sympathetic to labor) no pilot group will be given authorization to strike and nothing will chance.
I dont totally buy that.. what can they do if No Pilots show up for work for 3 days..... its not like the ATC during the President Reagan era.. they just cant go out and get Millitary Pilots to fly for all the airlines, and even if they could Last time I checked we are at war and the Ops Tempo of the Military is too high to take on anything new, how ever it will never happen because their are always people out there who are selfish and would work for peanuts.. speaking of peanuts... when you pay your work group peanuts you will get a circus...{Mesa, Colgan, Gojets}
