Unions have never done me any favors. I feel that they are hurting the industry and country. My point in that statement is that there are a few thousand pilots out there who probably would cross a picket line. I wouldn't be too eager to strike in this market if I were you.

The new mechanics at NWA are SCABS, there is no question about it. The striking mechanics at NWA are doing their best in a losing battle. Let's just hope there aren't more Skyhigh's out there in case the pilots at NWA or Delta have to go on strike. Of course a strike at NWA or Delta would probably shut the doors of those airlines since it takes a good 6-8 weeks to train a new hire before being released to the line and a strike at any of those airlines would make them close their doors in less than two weeks. Then there would be another 10,000 pilots a lot more experienced than Skyhigh out there looking for a job, and trust me they would all get hired before him with other airlines.
