Awesome work guys.
I'd like to thank ATSG management for bringing this matter before the court and setting some great precedent for pilot unions everywhere. Some great quotes in that summary.
"Indeed, we cannot find any case in which a union was held to have violated the RLA during a minor dispute by encouraging its members to refrain from engaging in conduct that is voluntary under a CBA."
"there is a strong presumption that a dispute between parties to an RLA agreement is minor.”
"Defendants cannot have violated the RLA by engaging in action permitted by the CBA."

Does this mean if we encourage folks not to fly extra, it is no longer considered an illegal work action?
If so, than that is a really huge win for pilots everywhere.
If I am wrong, please clarify.

Thats pretty much it......we the membership decided on our own not to fly it. With that said, we are compensated at a premium plus we get that day back if forced to work it. Its really not rocket science....why fly for straight time and lose a day when you can fly for premium pay and not lose a day! Perfect

It seems like the key here is the court determined the company and union are involved in a minor dispute. In a major dispute it says a court can intervene to maintain the status quo. Not sure when it becomes a major dispute.
