That is such a naïve and uninformed thing to say.

That statement is the epitome of ALPA national and their poor strategy towards any kind of a competitive threat brought about by technological change.

The 737 Max and the A320 Neo series aircraft will transform the North Atlantic transportation market. Soon enough RyanAir, EasyJet, JetBlue, Spirit, and others will join in. The U.S. incumbents and their labor groups need to be ready for that.

Hoping and praying it won't happen, or worse yet, attempting to threaten those who are at the forefront of the new reality won't change what is coming.
