When your'e the largest economy in the nation and fifth largest in the world, you get to set your own rules, for better or worse.

According to Simple Flying, JetBlue has also been hit with these CA work rules.

Their actual productive economy isn't quite that large... they get to claim credit for all of the money that flows through the SFO and LA financial centers. Also revenue from big tech. That's not the same as producing useful goods and services, more about controlling stuff that other people use. They also have a large service economy due to having a lot of people.

Yes because paying your flight attendants one hour of extra pay is so abhorrent that they will pay for thousands of employees to ride positive space, while getting paid to SFO to start their rotation.
The sad part about all this is union employees who fall for these management tactics. The chances of SFO, LAX, FAT etc becoming devoid of pilot and FA bases is practically zero. Even if a web domain called PaddleYourKanoo says so.
I know this is APC but come on guys. Maybe read the actual law. Sure for a company that operates wide bodies maybe its plausible they could shift resources. But for AS? How many legs are over 6 hours? That is the threshold for adding the hour of pay.

That's just, "economic activity," but weirdly disregarding economic activity due to any of those "big tech" or "financial centers." It is obvious that millions of people (likely billions) are using the "big tech" and "financial centers" and find them to be useful goods and services. Same for service economy. I don't get this point at all.

In the digital age the cornerstones of CA's economy can be moved rather quickly. In fact some would say it's already happening. CA will still have an economy of some sort due to the service needs of the large population. And maybe agriculture if they can find enough water to keep that going.
You can say the same for BOS, NY, PHL, and DC but they are all in different states.
London was the center of the universe at the height of the British Empire. Their main economic product was control. And beer I suppose.
