No thanks. The alternatives are worse.

People have had great success using Facebook and the number of "likes" they get.

The RLA a least should be updated.

Wasn't it written in 1873?

Ya being able to strike when your contract is up like any other unions is just terrible.Thats unless you are ALPA that benefits from prolonged negotiations as it increases your workload .Anything would be better than the prolonged talks that is the norm now.

I don't think the RLA is the real problem. The political swing against union labor over the past 30 years is the real issue. RLA or not, the people in power will not support a strike by a large airline. If you study your history, you will find that most successful airline strikes required some sort of presidential or congressional intervention. Personally, I don't think any of the politicians in charge these days from either party will lift a finger to help us.

There's no national bargaining under the NLRA. Each crew base would have to be organized individually AND negotiate it's own contract.

You think regional vs regional whipsawing is bad, wait until your see LAX vs ORD. Gee, the airline doesn't like your contract, oops, your flying just got moved to a "right to work" state.

It should at least be revised so companies cannot drag the process out for a half decade or longer.

See what happened with Boeing- they just opened a runaway shop (non-union) in SC? I suppose many on here were screaming at the administration for trying to stop it. But that is what can happen if we just repeal the RLA.
