9E pilots I stand with you and it's a shame that your management will let this be the last cause of action before they can do something to address the issue. Your Actions will not go un-noticed.

Good luck guys and I'm pulling for you, I hope they release you but I wouldn't hold my breath. Just look at ASA & NWA! But if they do it will be a real turning point, essentially giving labor groups their balls back.

The NMB has to release the pilot group first before a strike can be scheduled. ASA was unable to strike and as long as we have an Mgmnt friendly administration on Capital Hill I fear that no one will ever be released.

I hope I'm wrong but so many have proven this to be so in the last 5+ years. Please correct me but I think that last labor group to be release was Comair. Anyone?

this is all correct. we have to wait for the nmb to release us to a cooling off period. what we are HOPING for is that if we can win our status quo lawsuit we wont need the mediators approval. if we can prove that the company is willfully violating our contract and trying to change it without mec approval then that is all we need.

You need approval to strike? I know it is illegal to strike if you are a government employee, but the private sector? Please fill me in.

Airlines fall under the Railway Labor Act to prevent disruption of the nation's transportation system. Considering the act was passed in 1926, one could argue it has long outlived its usefulness.

I'm pulling for you guys. It's good to see a unified pilot group out there.....now hopefully someone will have the opportunity to strike and show management that we're serious when we talk about pay/work rule improvements.
