Fedex makes a lot more money, and we have over 5 times as many employees so if you split that by the number of employees we need to make 5 times what Delta makes.
You're memory isn't quite there. NWA was the last "major" to strike in the fall of '98, and they were out for 14+ days.
Technically, it was a "lock out", but the net result was the same.
