[QUOTE="Gabba, post: 4998547, member: 58591"] it's baloney, but yea that's what it is exactly. the aviation industry fell under the RLA because it was "analogous to the railroads." and so ages ago fed ex said "we're an airline, not a trucking company", and the feds let them get away with it. but it's baloney to begin with because the airlines aren't analogous to the railroads. the reason that the feds made the RLA so restrictive was because a local in charge of a single railyard could snarl up whole system by just shutting down all lanes into them effectively holding the whole countries transport economy hostage. but that's just not logistically possible with an airport. unlike a train a plane can just re route on their own and fly to an alternate airfield if one shuts down.
