I dont buy this whole putting in ice thing. It's the boogeyman that nobody ever sees.
the company cannot afford to keep dragging this out. Investors are getting antsy.
Id think after nearly 4 yrs the nmb will come to the conclusion that it's never getting done.
look at ups drivers, they threatened strike and now people are lining up to work for them because they have the high6pay by far, health care workers went on strike for 3 days, auto workers are about to get a great deal also. I think the country is tired of corporations making all the money and squeezing the little guy. The mood has shifted.
I'm glad people are building their strike fund but AA stuck in 2005? And it lasted 14 min.
I doubt at 60 million a day sw will allow a strike to happen.
We need to call the bluff and get everything we want.

This 100 percent.
This place cannot handle a snowstorm, cost over 1.5 billion due to management. No way they could take on the airline being shut down, Blackrock has already had enough of how poorly they are running this company.
All the “I love you “. from BJ is a joke.

I’m more concerned about the NMB telling everybody to go to their corners for six months like they did with the FAs. Thankfully, the company started negotiating with the FAs again last week. Not that it matters at the end of the day, it’s just an undesirable outcome. A strike or a deal, either one is fine in my book. But six months of nothing would be frustrating.

Spirit Airlines strike lasted 5 days. The Comair strike was nearly three months. But that said, I agree. My family has been saving for months - living on my salary and banking my wife’s. So we can certainly outlast the company at this point.

TWU 556 returned to the table (virtually) weeks ago. In their update on Friday, they reported that the mediator told them to go home and pack for another meeting that started on Monday. I wouldn't be surprised if they have an AIP by the end of the week. I also strongly believe management wants ALL contracts ratified by 12/31, but that could be wishful thinking.

Should it come to a strike, do you think there will be a significant number of scabs? Even with a probably higher than normal level of company loyalty among the pilot group, it seems given the circumstances of this situation it would be much lower than say CAL '83 or UAL '85.

Not unless they've been secretly training HQ employees to fly airplanes on the sly.

With what qualified pilots? Remember, in 83-85 you had thousands of qualified out of work pilots that would slit each other’s throats to fly for a major Airline thanks to Uncle Sam and the end of the Vietnam War. I don’t think you could even find 500 that would be willing to do that in today’s job market when literally every Airline is hiring right now.
