The RLA act was to protect the consumer and commerce from an interruption of service. Even in our biz, there is an alternative. Not to mention the pax guys that undercut one another just to maintain "market share"

Rant Summary ... this RLA is another dusty outdated peice of legislation that has surpassed its useful life. I wish it were GONE for all of us ! And so should you ...


Fire Away !
