I'll never get to a general strike. Some targeted self-help almost certainly, but AA could not withstand a general strike of any duration. Even the present management can't fail to see that.

There will be a contract, but not before the very last second, because that's what management will drive it to. Hopefully, the BODs and shareholders will finally see that this so-called "top" management team has squandered the last bit of employee loyalty and goodwill and is not suitable for the long term good of the company.
