Or they have the political horsepower to just get the law changed to exempt airlines. This entire goat screw is bad for all airline crew and all airlines.
Or this is all part of strong arming the labor groups: Pretend that drastic and punitive steps are on the horizon... and then pressure for concessions.
Given how badly you Alaska old-timers are reacting to this, I'd say that strategy has been quite effective in the past.
