Are you high? Didn't trump just introduce a federal right to work law?
Republican union members... still scratching my head about that oxymoron.

“Secretary Clinton supports union members, and specifically supports pilot-partisan solutions that directly affect the livelihood and careers of all ALPA pilots. The United MEC recognizes her commitment to our issues, including her opposition to the NAI flag of convenience scheme, and endorses her for President,” said MEC Chairman Captain Todd Insler.

Republicans have our best interests in mind? Quit smoking that chit, pops.

The right to work stuff really affects states. He doesn't care if a company is located in North Carolina, or South Carolina. He just doesn't want them to move to South America.

Does anyone know why the Obama Administration approved the NAI application to operate if they were doing this flag of convenience thing?
Seems pretty silly for Obama to throw the aviation industry under the bus. If they bring in a bunch of foreigners, that's allot of tax revenues that won't stay here. Not only do US companies fail, but employees cease making money, and the money that foreigners are making won't be taxed here.

Trump has every impetus to reverse the application, I can hear the sound bites now "We reversed the action of a secret muslim who was a total disaster and today we continue to make America great again".
For Clinton, the rhetoric would be toned down, but still an easy win to appear pro-worker.
With respect to today's reality, it's going to be all-telling to see if he walks the walk or is just another windbag politician.
