All those restrictions helped keep prices high and airlines profitable. Making a strike have more leverage. Don't get me wrong- i agree with you- 100%! I just think that if we made it easier to change companies that we'd all have a more flexible and better quality of life- and all would be more willing to walk away when needed. Right now- we are the only employee group that is SO invested in the company. We have more to lose than anyone by a liquidation and so we have been proven to be easy to control in a negotiation. If we knew that first year at the next job was a livable wage- we wouldn't be as concerned... a national list would change the dynamic of our career in every way- and noone to this point has told me why it can't be done-= except w/ an assumption that it would be done in a certain way that is unworkable. No matter what it will take leadership...
