I think a short strike would be good for our relationship with SWA. Maybe they’d learn to take us more seriously going forward.
While I don’t disagree, I think a strike is much too easy and simple. I’d prefer we follow the lead of the Japanese bus drivers who, rather than go on strike, ran the buses (costing fuel, pay etc.) but didn’t charge fares, causing their company to lose revenue and kept expenses up causing more damage than a strike alone would have.
When, and only when we are released, I hope we will recreate the Christmas meltdown conditions on a daily basis through a series of legal work actions.
Strikes are easy because everyone goes home. I’d like the union to run an “Operation Chaos” that is so well thought out and executed that the Csuite and volunteer Army look back on the Christmas meltdown with fond memories and every employee in the NOC begs Bob to sell $11 billion of stock and to put it in the pilots pockets just to make the chaos end.
