"there is a strong presumption that a dispute between parties to an RLA agreement is minor.”

"Defendants cannot have violated the RLA by engaging in action permitted by the CBA."
FedEx guy here, and not familiar with this situation...

Does this mean if we encourage folks not to fly extra, it is no longer considered an illegal work action?

If so, than that is a really huge win for pilots everywhere.

If I am wrong, please clarify.
