I can make the same argument in this thread as the 9E ramper thread. The pilots have no leverage because the government, through the RLA, has taken it away from them. Anybody have any pictures of the NMB members molesting children or something? Pretty sure blackmail is the only way anybody will ever get released at this point.

don't worry, this place is being set up to fail this summer. With the increased flying in LGA, JFK and ATL we are seeing and the fact that those flights are being routed through our other bases this place is going be severely impacted anytime there is bad weather or any time we have a plane that has a mx problem in one of those bases. Add that to the fact that the bottom 30% of each seniority list that has been continually getting abused for 3 years straight now is so tired that they don't care about anything anymore.

The NMB has absolutely no reason to help the pilots by granting their requests. Their only purpose as a gov bureaucracy is to stop or delay the possibility of disruption in the transportation system. I don't know what the solution is, maybe ALPA can lobby against the RLA. The labor friendly administration can only help, though it looks like they only have about 2.5 years to go.
