Every time I feel that way, I remember Slick Willy cancelling the AMR pilot strike in 1997. Ever since then, it has become increasingly difficult for airline employees to strike. And forget about any of the big 4 striking ever again; it's not going to be allowed. AMERICAN AIRLINE PILOTS STRIKE BUT CLINTON ORDERS THEM BACK - The New York Times
Last I checked, Slick Willy is a Democrat.
Don't kid yourselves; both parties hate pilots and unions.
Good luck to you guys; you'll eventually get a decent contract. But the process is a huge pain.

Please read at least the first paragraph of the article I linked. Note that the reason for cancelling AMR's strike is that it threatened nationwide air travel. Northwest was never big enough to do that.

Last I checked, Northwest was much smaller than AMR before they merged into Delta.

Yes.
Do you think that any of the big 4's unions will be permitted to strike any time in the future? I don't and I think that future Presidents will point to Slick Willy's shutdown of the AMR pilots' strike as precedent.
Do you really think that it mattered that it was APA rather than ALPA that went on strike?
And do you think that shutting down APA's strike didn't have long term negative impact on all airline unions?

I do agree that all politicians are for sale. I disagree that APA's PAC money is less desirable to Dems.
Do you not think that the APA's PAC hasn't donated to both political parties?

ALPA PAC is smartly bi-partisan. I admittedly don’t know much about APA-PAC.
