none of what you said makes sense. 1500 and 67 would and is taking an act of congress to change. The rla itself is what hold unions and pilots back from readily striking when companies take their sweet time coming to the table on a contract. Gaining back the ability to force companies to the table and readily have contract ready to sign at the expiration of a current one is the hold I speak of. There’s little to no pressure to negotiate a new contract till strikes are imminent years after contract have expired.
