The only point you can make is that you don't know what you're talking about. The International Brotherhood of Teamsters strike lasted 16 days, was the largest strike in U.S. history, cost UPS more than $600 million (and thousands upon thousands of customers) and was considered a huge victory for the union. Apart from the management (non-seniority number holder) pilots, IPA pilots honored the strike.
Let me simplify this for you. The threat of UPS pilots going on strike is not nearly as problematic for UPS as the threat of UPS pilots going on strike AND hundreds of thousands of UPS drivers, couriers, and other employees ALSO going on strike with them.
