Does anyone have any information on how many of those strikes resulted in the airline shutting its doors?

(just for the "Hulas will just shut the doors if we strike" crowd)

My guess would be it's the old senior guys that are comfortable and don't want to rock the boat right before they retire. Hard to say who it really was though.

I have a question. If TSA goes on strike and gojet stands behind us. Does that mean we also have the full support of St. Louis area gas station workers? They are the same union right?

Is it up in the air because if TSA strike Gojet won't be able to secure the funding? Isn't the immediate growth of G7 dependent on the prosperity of TSA? If this is the case, shouldn't TSA have Hulas over a barrel?

First, I don't know how much longer Gojets depends on TSA for money. At one time yes but I think its fleeting. Second, doesn't it make you feel all warm inside to know that TSA's hard work and effort is benefiting somebody else who is taking work away from us?
