this was a post from TSA lounge last week
Since the NMB has issued their ruling, without further evidence, or possibly a Democrat in the White House, they will no longer be helpful. So sadly there are only two possible options to make GoJet go away.
First option is to come out with an outright attack saying that flying for GoJet could potentially end your career, aka a hiring ban. Much the same tactic that Duane Worth used to control Freedom. Go to the flight schools, take ads out, and let the pilots there know that going to GoJet would be harmful to their career. The result of this would be to make hiring so difficult that TSAH would have to legitimize GoJet.
Second, and much much less popular will be to "sleep with the enemy". He would have to go to GoJet and convince them that ALPA is a better labor union and that the Teamsters will not be able to give them the same quality of life that ALPA can provide. Once they are part of the ALPA fold they can be more easily assimilated.
Neither option is very easy and each had their own downside. But the current do nothing option is not working. It will not bring closure to this situation.
Now to the Skipster. I couldn't agree with you more. Prater needs to answer why TSA's isn't in a federal court yet. TSA keeps saying if you don't like it grieve it. But then when they loose, they still don't want to honor the decision.
