I do believe that the Colgan pilots will support the Pinnacle pilots by walking the line with them to show supportand participate in any ALPA demonstration, but there is no chance of the Colgan pilots walking out. If you do, you will be out of a job and possibly more action to come.
Plus it is not like Colgan will be flying struck work. Are they going to put Saabs on those routes? We barely have enough planes to cover our flying.
Im with you in the idea of supporting Pinnacle pilots but I think the idea of Colgan striking or refusing to fly is a bit off
I have no idea what the CJC pilots would do, but you're incorrect about the legalities. Secondary boycotts (sympathy strikes) are perfectly legal under the RLA.
