I think our only real shot at meaningful change is getting out of the Railway Labor Act. But Joe Public and Congress would hate that because fares would go up.
I'm surprised more people aren't ticked off about this and that the unions aren't spending more time fighting it versus fighting management that uses it as a stall tactic.

Fighting Congressional Acts is a lot more difficult and time/financially consuming than dealing with management

There is absolutely no incentive for congress to change / amend this act. Firstly, ALPA lobbyist cannot even come close to the "contributions", aka bribes, that the airlines offer. Secondly, why would congress amend an act that provides years of stall tactics to management and keeps aircraft in the air making their constituents happy? Why would anyone help out the over-privileged, overpaid, egotistical (not being sarcastic with egotistical) pilot? :rolleyes:. The act will not change.

Hahahah keywords for what? You've yet to actually make a point, only guess about employment status. I can't read your mind!
The fact that you still don't get it makes the point for me. Take a Tylenol and think about it for awhile. Call me in the morning.
