The NMB's entire job is to keep us from striking and they will never allow it unless Delta does something so egregious that don't have a choice. And Delta isn't that stupid
Point of order. Allegiant tried to do an illegal strike, without being released by the NMB, and we were slapped with an injunction before anyone could even act on it. Also allegiant has a hair over 1000 pilots now. It was about 500 when that happened if I recall correctly.
