If the NMB had determined that the Comair strike would cause "significant harm" economically to a region, then LIKELY a PEB would have been set up. Unless they state that, a PEB isn't even an option.
Absolutely nowhere in that CNN article does it support your claim that GWB was "too busy being brought up to speed on being president to deal with a Comair strike".
The NMB didn't think a Comair strike would cause "significant harm to the country" so a PEB wasn't set up. If Bush was as vehemently anti-labor as some claim, he'd have stopped what he was doing and ended that Comair strike via PEB simply because he could.
But he didn't.
When you think about it, the exact same could be said of the Spirit strike; the Obama Administration knew it wouldn't cause significant harm to the country to lose just 1% of its daily seats so they let them walk. It saves face between the Democrats & labor while causing no long-term harm to the public interest.
I'd bet a C-note he wouldn't let American walk...
Hinting that Bush would let 9E (or anyone else) strike is about as flawed as assuming Obama will automatically let it happen.
I agree. That said, I didn't hint at anything...simply said CMR's strike happened while GWB was President. Which is fact.
