And the judges are going to put how many supporting groups in jail? Don't you think it's time for pilots in the US to unite as one group? Isn't it time to extracate pilots from the RLA, and come into the 21st or at least the 20th century?
BTW... supporative strikes in Europe are not always legal... they are tolerated... and like here, there's nothing the government can do about it.
