Gotta love airline pilots voting Republican. And then beotch a storm when they can't get a contract and go off on the RLA. It's a fact: of the two party political system, one party has been historically anti-labor and the other party for labor. When it comes to organized labor, MAGA means voting Democrat.

Anyway, not to get into a political debate, the original comment was in regards to organized labor and the RLA, which are appropriate for the forum.

While you are entitled to your opinion, that opinion is factually incorrect. The two party political system has nothing to do with the specifics of the RLA. The RLA governs everything that is done when negotiating airline labor contracts. You comments were two-fold, with one being irrelevant to the other. And if your assessment was correct, then why is it that a DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT halted a strike at American in '97?

It matters, but what appears is that you put it into the context of Democrat=quick ratification and Republican=drawn out process. That is just not true. Your assessment or opinion was purely based on emotion, and not fact. And you still didn't answer my last question, so back to you haas.

I don't know about the XJT bit, but according to people who know he actually DID have one hell of a resume.
Took an inheritance and got himself just about every kind of type rating; Helicopter, Seaplane, etc etc. Honors society in school, tons and tons of community service of all kinds. Incredibly smart and incredibly polite...
This coming from those who actually reviewed his resume and helped with his interview prep...

Not in terms of quick ratification versus drawn out process, but moreso federal NMB Presidential appointees who can make the difference for labor. Clinton stopped AA because it carried 20% of the domestic travelers and over a holiday weekend. A Republican candidate would have done the same. Besides, this is a one off thing. For the most part, you can't deny the Dem party is more labor friendly than the Repub party.
