I expect a strike sometime later this year or early next year when the process under the RLA has taken it's course.  It may not last long, just enough time to be put back to work and a Presidential Emergency Board to be named. 

 

 

The unions have taken the (correct) next step.

Maybe they should include the growing Unionization of Starbucks and Amazon into the equation.  Carriers think after the mid-terms they will have a GOP congress and SCOTUS to break the union movement after 160 years,

Never too old to have a happy childhood!
