First, you can only strike if you are part of a union. Federal laws
give unions protections that allow them to gain excess benefits,
beyond what supply and demand allow for. In short, when a union is
involved you do not have a free market (the employeer has his hands
tied and his nuts in a vice).

Robert, this post (Just like many of your other posts) shows that you
dont really have a grasp of the situation. If you dont like organized
labor thats fine, but you are making yourself look silly by painting
things with a broad brush.

Second, even a union (like a parasite) cannot kill its host. Most
airlines are on the edge of bankruptcy (if not already in bankruptcy)
so asking for more money would just kill the host. Today competition
in the market has made margins slim in the industry and the survivors
are those that can produce their profit for the lowest cost
(Southwest, Jetblue, etc). Asking your airline to increase its cost
structure to increase your pay can literally put it out of business in
today's market.

Where did you come up with this. Which airlines are on the brink ?
With the exeption of Doug Parker and USAirways the airlines have been
doing quite well. Pick up a newspaper once in awhile .
