They are under the RLA.

Their contract is not up for Section 6 negotiation for years.

The union and pilot group have supported a IBB process for the last several years, giving the company almost all leverage. The pilots have been voluntarily castrated, and their current CBA discourages solidarity/unified work action because of add-pay provisions. The metal keeps moving...

And then there is their "union"...

Long story, AJ and Uncle Warren are the only happy campers. Along with a group of pilots that successfully know how to suck up.

It's a damn shame...but largely self inflicted -- and those that don't like it are labeled as anti-union outcasts. The only potential salvation is attrition and inability to hire, but those market forces have not yet translated into benefits for the meager and beaten down line pilot of NJA/NJASAP.
