[QUOTE="soberups, post: 2146821, member: 14668"] The company was counting on 95% of the workforce crossing the picket line within a week back in 1997. 3 weeks into the strike, 95% were still honoring the picket line. The pilots union also honored our picket line and refused to fly, which grounded the airline once the management pilots ran out of hours. The idea that ORION will allow untrained people to walk in off the street and replace us within days is not realistic. ORION doesnt work. It takes a hard job and makes it harder, it wastes time and adds miles. And there simply are not enough management people to train an adequate number of replacements while at the same time keeping things running. The on car management we had in 97 was far better trained, compensated and motivated than the ones we have today. Half of the management people we have would probably quit if we struck. Why stay? They arent getting a pension and they could jump ship to Amazon and make more money. [/QUOTE]
