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.
Again, I'm not looking for a drag out mono-e-mono fight. We're all in this together. Just pointing to a blanket statement that can't be proven one way or the other because there is a plethora of items that have gone against labor or for labor from both sides of the aisle. Elected leaders do what's in their best interest for them to be re-elected, no necessarily what is good or in the best interest for any one group. But then you throw out statistics like "25% chance......, then there is a 1% chance...." I'm gonna call you on that one and ask to back that up with some data. Otherwise, I'll chalk it up to personal opinion.
