Default Railway Labor Act

Take away the RLA and then pilots can strike. Strike leads to company failure. Lower cost airline takes over market share.

How would the extermination of the RLA make things any better? Europe doesn't have the law however they also have Ryan Air that is so cheap that it makes its pilots share a hotel room. I don't think that in the free market things are any better over there.

Giving pilots the ability to take strike action would hasten the demise of what legacy carriers we have left.
