Not sure how to feel about that rock on her finger, though? :confused:

Carl

The "fact" is, pay banding (if that is the proper term) is common. The fact is also that the DAL contract of 2000 was far superior to anything seen at NWA, but of course that is water under the bridge...but maybe it would be best to show some sort of unity for a common cause instead of the constant DALPA bashing.

just my one vote/opinion.

Yes, unity. Like what you posted above. Or below:

And at Delta, a 777 used to pay a lot more than a 747 at NWA,

Can't be too careful.

Carl

Thanks, I needed that.

I was paging back from the last page to catch up and saw the warning about what awaited...I didn't want to page back any further....but I couldn't help myself.

Now, as they say, rinse, repeat...

But that's beside the point of people here trying to frame a strike as an impossibility. It's just not true. The NMB is not a total blocking agent...witness the Spirit strike. PEB's do not stop a strike...it can only delay it a maximum of 60 days. Congress can intervene and impose a contract on a union...but they've never done so in history (that I know of anyway).

Carl

There have been 243 PEB's, most involving railroad unions.

While they've yet to do it to an airline union, Congress has legislated working conditions under the Railway Labor Act a bunch of times, the most recent that I remember being in 1991. They also intervened after a 4 day railroad strike in 1982.

The railroads have also been federalized several times.

You can google the intervention. Congress threatened to intervene in a rail strike last December that prompted a negotiated contract settlement.

Evidently, Georgetown law student coeds are basically just free and they cannot be satisfied. May require you to turn off the lights though. :D
