No. There will be no arbitrated result this time. Part of the NMB process will require (some day) for the NMB to proffer arbitration. Either side can turn it down. There will be no arbitration.
So you're saying 20% of this country's flying would be allowed to stop flying? I have my doubts.
It would take at least a couple more years for the NMB to allow Alaska to go on strike with a 50/50 chance at the President blocking it. But they do have a realistic shot at it.
With Delta, the chance is so miniscule that it isn't a reasonable chance. Management knows this and so does ALPA.
