Amateur ideas? See nothing changes.
Its only amateur because ALPA didn't think of it.
Would U have shut the doors over the pension issue? No. The managers like to scare the pilots and the union into flinching. The managers have way too much to lose by closing the doors. Further, with a national seniority list, closing the door at a company would allow the other carriers who absorb the failure to absorb the pilots from the stricken carrier. Would a NWA Captain rather move down 100 numbers on the Airbus in DTW and keep his pension or the alternative?
These ideas need to be explored and implemented if warranted. It will never happen with the pansies that run ALPA.
