Frontier might go on strike but they're not at an extreme risk of going out of business in the next 4 years like XJT is.

But, I don’t think frontier will strike. Airline strikes aren’t allowed anymore.
Did I miss an amendment to RLA?

The last few times airline employees have tried to strike the president has ordered them back to work.
It would be interesting to see how this POTUS reacted to a strike. He seems like the type who would feel compelled to get involved.

The last one was Spirit, didn’t they actually strike for 3-4 days?

Indigo Partners, who owns Frontier, is the same dirtball equity firm that owned Spirit at the time of their strike. I guarantee you they won't pony up the dough until they strike. Max profit til the last day I'm sure they say.

The only choice is to strike with your brothers and sisters. I am sure you know this but if a strike happens, once a deal is finally reached, the union will require everyone to get their jobs back as part of the deal...

Yes.

Don’t be a scab. Ever.

I know people who carried scab lists around for decades. People you don’t want to **** off.

Yep.

I have seen some FAA guys whip that list out. Plus a lot of training guys.

Folks, think long and hard before you cross a line. Better to (temporarily) lose a job than to lose a career.
