Alaska pilots have a lot more leverage than Delta pilots when it comes to the negotiating process and the chance of being released into a cooling off period and an eventual strike. Not because Alaska pilots are smarter or more united, but because the NMB would allow Alaska pilots to strike whereas they would NOT allow Delta pilots to strike.
Spirit did it, and it was successful. After spirit we were not released to strike at my last shop.

If employees engage in illegal work action, a carrier may seek injunctive relief with a federal court. The court can then issue and injunction against the illegal work action. Failure to comply with such an injunction can result in parties and individuals being found in contempt of court.

it’s a dumb argument.
I cannot be forced to work for Delta, period.

I’m not familiar with the case where 14000 pilots are arrested for violating a federal injunction…I’ll dig deeper.
I’m now scared straight…I just ordered a backup hat to make sure I don’t run afoul of Delta and go to jail.

You probably aren't going to get arrested but the Court can award significant fines for violating its order(s). The American Airlines pilots/APA got handed a $46M fine for violating a judge's order by continuing to bang in sick.

You could also be fired.
Your chances of going to jail - zero.
If we want to speak in reality, by the time an injunction was issued…the damage would already be done with no winners.

From: Pilot
Following a strike vote at my regional airline with similar results, we were not released to strike. And we were about 1/4 the size of Alaska. It’s not about actually striking. It’s about sending a message, and the public perception of booking tickets on Alaska when there’s no pilots to fly.
Spirit did it, and it was successful. After spirit we were not released to strike at my last shop.
