This can't be good

Judge rules Comair can impose concessions on pilots: AP

I wonder if anyone can go on strike anymore. NW FAs were blocked by a court order but the NMB does not ever want to declare an impasse.

If Comair's pilots are smart, they'll simply walk out. This is the perfect time to send a message.

Then again, it just might give Delta the excuse to shut them down and replace their lift with other regional carriers, which is probably their plan all along.

Yup, just walk. Don't give a court a chance to rule first.

I don't understand. A judge did just rule. And, it was not in favor of the pilots.

According to the article, the judge ruled that Comair can throw out the contract. It didn't say anything about the judge ruling that the pilots couldn't strike (i.e. walk out).

Of course, 2 minutes after the pilots walked, Comair would have a motion before the judge asking for a ruling that the pilot's couldn't strike....

Yes, and once they're off the job, it will be a lot more difficult to get them back to work. Especially at Christmas with the flu going around...
