Strike Prep

Ameriwho? You mean the non union freight gig based out of Burbank, California?

Ain't never had a union, and they ain't never had no strike.

I would ask around, but I can't imagine that the airline could cancel your health insurance if you strike. Even if they did, I believe you could do Cobra. I'm not sure how this works, but if you have been released by the NLRB and it is a legal strike, I can't feature an immediate cut-off of benefits. Also, if they did that, you would theoritically have to re-enroll in your benefit plans after the strike, which would be an HR hassel. What did they do at Ameriflight?

I AM SO CONFUSED.

WHO IS THIS THREAD FOR?? RAH or TSA?

I didn't know that rah is looking to strike, how long have they been in negotiations? TSA, Trans States Airlines is potentially a month away from being released but they've been in negotiations for almost 5 years.
 
RAH pilots should be doing something. Hopefully they will be able to match the JetBlue E190 scale at a minimum.
 
If you are in contract negotiations, you should begin prepping for a strike financially. If you do that, then when the time comes in 2-3 years from the opener of your section 6, you'll not be rushed to put cash away.

Ideally, you're carrying enough assets that are, or can be converted to, liquid for 6 months for a contingency fund anyway. In this industry, that is the best backstop you can have.

When I was in the top 10-15% seniority wise at the last job and the bottom 10% here, I had the same amount stuffed away in cash. It makes the threat of furlough or company closure no less daunting, but it gives you a light that you will survive without a mountain of debt.

YMMV
