You're completely right, we should have. But instead, we'll be picketing during the slow winter months and after football season. Maybe if we had some critical thinking capabilities in the union we'd be utilizing that "leverage" that we claim to have (we have it). Any pilot that WANTS to go infront of the NMB is in for a world of hurt when they learn that we won't be getting anything good from them any time soon. The NMB is about the largest loss the union could take right now. If we go in front of them before exhausting all forms of leverage (picketing, striking, etc.) it will really show how inept our savior AR is.
