Your link shows that during the last Dem administration, 2 major airlines were allowed to strike (AMR,NWA), AMR twice!! It kinda kills the arguments on this thread that a major airline would NEVER be allowed to strike, don't you think? Oh, and btw, now that the NMB rule change is the law of the land, look for that % union number in this industry to creep up from 46% to near 50%. The Obama NMB just put a damper on your decling union theory.
