Perhaps someone can answer this question: Why is it not a priority for ALPA to amend the Railway Labor Act to impose a timeline or "drop dead" date for self-help? A common complaint is that companies drag out negotiations for years, and the gov't never declares an impasse, so the union can never strike.

Congress makes the laws, not the president. The supposedly labor-friendly Democrats control Congress. Why is ALPA not pushing for this straightforward amendment to the RLA?
