[QUOTE="Undertow, post: 4796711, member: 4550"] As inept as ORION currently is, it's doubtful they could really come anywhere near close to moving anything efficiently with scabs behind the wheel. Would we enjoy the backing of other unions, our pilots, and the general public again roughly 25 years later? Who really knows. I can remember more than a handful of drivers weren't willing to do their part and reciprocate years later when our pilots were stuck in prolonged negotiations with no end in sight. And now that half of the lower 48 states are Right-To-Work-For-Less, the company might think the conditions would be right to test the unity of the rank-and-file. It's become plainly obvious that if they sense an opportunity to further weaken the union, they will absolutely not shut the door entirely on it even if it did come with short term pain to the bottom line. 10 years ago, I'd have never believed the company would put something like trying prop up a corpse like ORION above actual efficiency and service to the customers. I was wrong as the program performs even worse than it did when it was introduced and the company still refuses to acknowledge the scale of the failure. Anybody is capable of anything when it comes to bad ideas. [/QUOTE]
