[QUOTE="susiedriver, post: 72421, member: 1848"] ok2b, I agree that a strike is never a 'good' alternative, but sometimes it is the only weapon left in a union's arsenal, and what better time than the most profitable period the company has? Leverage is a term that comes to mind. I wouldn't look for any crossing the picket line on the pilot's part, and management pilots would be out of hours in short order. I don't know if you know any pilots personally, but they are a very close knit bunch. Most are ex-military, and few pilots would risk their future by scabbing, even those out of work Delta pilots. On top of that, one cannot just jump behind the controls of a jet airplane without certification, even if they've flown the same plane before. Like I said, pony up and give them what they deserve, the best contract in the industry. That's what the Teamster drivers have, that's what the everyone at UPS has, except the pilots. [/QUOTE]
