Here are some names:

Mitch McConnell - Current Speaker of the House
Elaine Chao - Secretary of Transportation, and Mitch's wife.
James S. C. Chao - Elaine's dad, and the architect of the Flag of Convenience scheme that decimated the US maritime industry.


I'd hope that they wouldn't be able to bias the courts, but these days anything is possible, huh?. What's clear is that they have an intimate knowledge of the regulations, and an effective path around them in both the legislative and regulatory environments. Add to this the ethics concerns surrounding both McConnell and Chao on this issue and you have MAGA for US labor! or not.

Do you do the hiring? So you're opinion means exactly squat.

A active pilot sits on most hiring panels at the major airlines. He may or may not have a bias.

Another empty threat.

Nah miscreants ala JC are generally the company’s chief turd hearse drivers hoping to become a Microsoft Pilot to say the least.

Gotta tell you sailingfun... many friends and colleagues, also fellow expats, have been picked up by DAL, AA, UAL, and other major carriers.

Not that it changes anything about the point you're making but just a quick correction, McConnell is the Senate Majority Leader.

Another example for the long list of republicans effing labor. A pilot who votes right votes against their own self interest.

I’m guessing they found work stateside before getting picked up at AA.

You’d be guessing wrong. Got a call, last night, from a friend at EK... Got the “Welcome Aboard Letter” from one of the BIG 3.
