It's this damn RLA. If we were allowed to strike whenever we decided to things would be much different I promise you. Longshoremen make bank because they can shut the whole country down when they strike. We should have the same empowerment, but we don't so we have to settle with this crappy union deal. Got a better solution, I'd like to hear it. Going it on your own at Airways aint gonna work either. It will just be a different set of jokers/bureaucracy to deal with. AND, if you think the company won't have their fingers in it more than they do now... good luck with that.
