NJA Pilots SOLD OUT!

Jetwash - You obviously have never heard of the National Railway Labor Act. If it was that easy to vote NO and shut it down, you can bet your ass, it would be done by now. The NRLA benefits management, and even though I'm a Republican, it's somewhat true that as long as 2 out of 3 members of the NMB are democrats, the liklihood of us being released to self-help are pretty slim. There are other ways though, and don't think we won't use them.

WillieG,

The Railway Labor Act normally applies to scheduled air carriers (an outgrowth of the Railroad system carrying mail), but does it apply to the fractionals? Please say it isn't so.

If it's not under the RLA, then you're about as free to strike as the UAW every 18 months!

stlflyguy:

You've hit a nail on the head!

Coming from a 121 background, why the NRLA applies to fractionals is beyond me...does anyone know if it has ever applied to a 135 carrier? Is it just because NJA is a unionized work force? City bus drivers, who have a must greater influence on a potential "tranportation hardship," are free to engage in self-help when the the time comes...

Release, even if by suit, should be the first action pursued by the new MEC.
