Seeing as how over half of the domestic flying is done by regionals, why wouldn't United be allowed to strike. The impact of essential commerce would only be in raised rates to get on the few seats that the 70 seaters have after all the mainline shuts down for a few days, weeks, months (it would ultimately be left to management to really decide how long they would want the strike to continue).

If their argument is that we are too big to strike because of the effect on commerce then fine, bring all regional flying under mainline, and I will reluctantly agree with that idea, until then, more than half of the planes are not covered by our CBA flying passengers who bought tickets on CAL/UAL.

Until that happens, under this administration we WILL be allowed to walk when necessary, and I will see you all on the picket line.
