Last US airline strike was Spirit, in 2010 (15 years ago).

Previous to that, it was Northwest Airlines, 1998 (25 years ago)

Congress is not going to allow a strike

remember when we told everyone during COVID we were "critical workers" and "the nations infrastructure needs us" etc etc. I mean ALPA senior leader level, said all this stuff.

dang it.....hate it when Pilots eat their words
True but . . .

The reason for the non-strikes is that agreements were made in lieu. Nothing has really ever gotten to Congress since...

Will F9 accept the POS proposal mgt is sure to offer? Will F9 pilots send a TA back if the rates are lower (or justify a yes vote w/ drop/swap/trade and other provisions that look better on the surface but actually end up being about the same or worse than industry standard after the company pivots the business model)?
