And Spirit pilots were released to strike under a democratic president in 2010. The Democrats (especially under a centrist/right, corporate friendly Clinton) haven’t always been labor’s best friend, but they are certainly more labor friendly than Republicans. Look, the fact is that pilots just aren’t released to strike all that often. If there is a 25% chance of being released to strike with a Democrat in the White House, then there is a 1% chance of being released with Republican in the White House. I’ll take my chances with a Democratic administration all day long given the alternative.
