Interesting Site--List of Airline Strikes
Interesting site if you're bored and waiting through yet another round of contract negotiations at your carrier (as I am):
Airline Strikes Under the RLA
As everyone probably knows, the NMB and wiki sites on the NMB/RLA are also great sites that every airline pilot should read and learn in this day and age.

Thats why I have heard the nicknames "Cobra" and "Viper" for NWA pilots... Don't mess with them, lest they strike...!

Regioanls really can't strike anymore. We have no leverage. If we strike someone else will get the RFP. Simple as that. When Comair struck they had a majority of the Delta Connection flying under one roof, now look what has happened.
DCI Carriers:
Comair
SkyWest
ASA
Freedom
Chautauqua
Shuttle America
Republic
ExpressJet
Pinnacle
Soon to include:
Mesaba
Compass
This is why, at the regional (also known as "Small Jet Provider", "Contract Carrier", etc.) level, we need one overriding contract if you are ALPA. One pay rate across the board for each type of aircraft. Air Wisconsin and Pinnacle, who both operate the same airplane, would have the same pay. Work rules that are standard from company to company. You know, kinda like what a real union would have.
