I just want to see if my logic jives with anyone else. How about Congress makes massive revisions to the RLA. This was we could fix issues with pay, scheduling, rest, ect. I dont have anywhere near a full understanding of the RLA, but from what I know, you need the NMB to sign off in order for an airline to strike. If the the RLA were revamped so that the NMB goes away, and all that was required to strike was 30-60 days official notice to management until a strike took place, then we would have our leverage back, and we could fix many issues that are being looked at. Most importantly, this would ensure that no new rules are put in place that we dont want, and it would also give us leverage to make changes down the line. This is the most long term fix I can think of. It wouldnt do much for the training issue, but all of the QOL issues could be taken care of at our discretion.
