Reagan fired all the air traffic controlers in the 80's when they went on strike didn't he?

Comair pilots don't work for the president, he can't fire them.

And neither will the Comair mgmt team, they couldn't hire and train that many replacements. They can't even hire enough to fill their vacancies NOW!

the action that would be taken, I believe, would be in the form of a hefty fine to ALPA...possibly disbanding the union altogether...of course, pilots could always unite again and again. The controllers were replaced with military guys and gals. Think they could do it again with military pilots? Maybe a group could organize something non-alpa sponsored...that could be interesting.
