Default Alaska Strike Vote

Yes, I know they aren’t even close to being able to actually go on strike, but 96% of pilots voted with 99% in favor.

That right there sends a message and shows unity.

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.

I'm all about metering expectations but this is absolutely not true

what isn’t true? The thought process that the NMB is more likely to allow Alaska into self help than Delta? I don’t think either will get released, but Alaska going on strike definitely has less effect on the US economy.

It's untrue that Delta pilots would never be released.

It absolutely is. Ask any labor lawyer familiar with the RLA and see what they say.

Under the right circumstances, and the correct political makeup of the NMB based on the political makeup of the Executive Office, we absolutely could get a release. It would likely be squashed immediately by a PEB, but it would still be a release.
