Which problems will get solved faster?

All I know is that if a regional carrier were to fire all of their striking workers they would have no problem filling spots. I would imagine that just about 70% of the dumb, uneducated, kids that graduated in the past year or two from the major collegiate aviation programs with $60k+ of debt would be jumping all over it. Gotta fly that shiny jet yo!

Good luck training them in 24 hours.

Why 24 hours? I'm not 100% on my knowledge of all of this stuff but a strike can be longer than 24 hours correct? Also, if it wasn't illegal to fire these workers wouldn't the airline just fire them and hire in all new lower wage workers even if it meant operations were closed for a bit? I mean you are still gonna get people come in who are qualified and have been on the street as well as the low time guys. In addition, all the new guys will work as slaves to fly that jet man!

It's already illegal to fire a striking labor force.

Just re-read that and I can see that you read it that way... wasn't very clear. I was trying to get across the point that with the current laws it is illegal to fire someone on strike.
 
If a pilot group wants to strike and are unified in that decision it shouldn't take a third party to give them the thumbs up. It just allows the management to abuse the problem longer. Look at Amerijet. How much earlier would they have struck if they didn't have to put up w/ the shenanigans of the NMB. Our Deutche Brothers should prove this point pretty quickly.

Agreed. The labor group should be able to walk off the job the day they're not satisfied... this is why the current system is less than perfect.
 
A system that allows labor to walk off the job at a moment's notice puts too much power in the hands of one side, which creates problems of its own. It sounds good, but it doesn't work in the long term.

Works pretty well on this side of the pond, as I posted two links on this thread, where the issues won't drag on forever. I think the Union people over here are less greedy than the union people (referring to the moustache mafia)in the US... The last strike was allowed under GWB, and your long winded explanation of how great this NMB is doesn't explain why those airlines with a strike vote authorization can't strike. How long has the current president been in office-two weeks now?

Perhaps you didn't notice, but the judge was about to order the Lufthansa pilots back to work. That's why they went back to negotiate. The European countries have their own process besides the RLA, but it isn't as easy as people like to think it is.

Because they haven't reached impasse.
