I don’t know who is running the show for the union but they are going to lose in court, you can’t just do illegal work acts to get what your want. Contracts don’t take years if you you have good leadership and don’t ask for unrealistic things. Get a clue.

And the Berkshire comment. Berkshire would shutdown every mechanic base and out source their labor before settling for a contract for half of what these guys are offering. Dont believe me, look at EJM. Nearly all their mechanics got terminated and business was outsourced when they tried to pull BS and ask for the moon. Buffet doesn’t screw around with his wallet. He wants his money and he will take it. These mechanics better pray buffet doesn’t take over.
