Seriously, think twice before you do that K. Copied directly (text bolded for emphasis) from the ruling, issued Dec. 7:

"The Court's conversion of the TRO into a preliminary injunction is not a "cudgel to secure [ABX] unfair bargaining leverage over the Union and its pilots." (Doc. 21 at 8). The TRO simply reaffirms that there is no evidence that ABX is currently violating the status quo with respect to the three discrete issues addressed in this case and therefore prevents the pilots from striking with respect thereto. The preliminary injunction is not something for Plaintiff "to hide behind...to avoid having to resolve a dispute and a staffing crisis." The preliminary injunction does not give ABX any leverage or power with respect to resolving these and/or any other disputes between the parties; it simply reaffirms that the pilots cannot strike with respect to the three minor disputes discussed herein. As this Court has said ad nauseam since November 7, 2016 (Case No. 1:16cv1039, Doc. 16), the parties need to focus their time and resources on arbitrating their disputes instead of litigating in this forum."

As I've said, our MEC called it, despite zero advanced notice, ALPA National called it, and the Courts called it after deliberation. The strike was not legal. Do what you want with your jumpseat. Knock it off with the name-calling BS.
