Or perhaps a bit of gamesmanship is happening behind the scenes, for all you guys that never played poker. Anyone wanna bet a contract does not get imposed? Any of you deep pocket folks?

 

How about treasonist? Or maybe Ye Fan #1?

I wasn’t trying to make this political. Just pointing out you dilute your argument by inserting these childish names. It seriously takes away from your good points. Take the advice or don’t. I don’t care what you call him personally.

 

I'm fascinated by any in the pilot group singing any form of praise about Biden. In nearly EVERY instance of security, intelligence, global stability, military operations, border security, economics (all of it), our allies confidence he has been absolutely incompetent...absolutely. While Trump may have been a jerk, you just can not look at our current situation and believe things are better or just fine. Trump surrounded himself with competent thinkers, people on a mission to right the economy along with domestic and global stability. Not necessarily Trump, but his team. I would seriously almost question a pilots mental state to think everything's just fine under Biden. I get supporting your party politically, I do, but having been around since the 60's Ive seen a lot in this arena, even having served in political positions. In nearly all instances, other than ww2, most economies under Democrat leadership fair far worse than under a Republican led President and/or congress. I wouldn't expect Biden or any in his troupe to effectively understand the RLA , the railway personnel grievances, or ours for that matter. What ever MSNBC recommends for expediency is what will happen. Not what's good for the worker.

 

Agreed. Trump’s a bully who likes to call people childish names. For some reason, he seems to make otherwise rational people only too eager to join him in such pursuits.

SAD!

 

I’m thinking we are all underestimating congress’ ability to do nothing.

 

Eloquent and accurate. #winner

 

Serious question:

Anyone know if it’s just the House who imposes contracts on labor groups governed by the RLA at this stage, or does it take both chambers?

Congress is out of session (barring an emergency session) until the new Congress convenes next year.

Hard to imagine Team X taking the heat on this when they can just pawn it off to Team Y next year.

—————

The public hasn’t seen an RLA governed strike in a long time. However it plays out will set public and Congressional expectations for any pilot groups going down that road.

 

I forget the act but when congress and the pres start jumping in they are using another act which helps manage stuff thats too important for labor rights. Im being sarcastic here.

The NMB may let the railworkers go but the politicians are exercising a legal means of preventing the process.
