I dont think there is a chance the judge will allow a strike. The pilots also dont want to strike. Those that do are the most senior captains. Everyone knows that with this contract getting tossed, Comair is in a better position to get more airplanes and more flying from Delta. All this is going to do is make some pilots leave for other carriers.

93% of the Comair pilot group voted YES to a strike. I would say they are willing to strike.

Unfortunately, I do think you are right, the judge will most likely block any work action.

I don't understand how a "judge" can block a unionized pilot strike. I don't see how that is against the law. If that is the case where the company can just cry to a judge. Then what good is the union at all?

don't get me wrong im not calling you out but be careful with the wording. 93% of the pilots that voted authorized a strike but it doesnt say how many voted. it will be interesting to see what happens.


"Comair pilots overwhelmingly supported the union’s strike authorization ballot with more than 93% of the responding pilots voting in support of the measure."
