Striking has nothing to do with it. Major airlines have similiar chances of striking as us. Almost zero percent. Last major airline strike was Northwest more than 25 years ago before industry consolidation.

Powerless....?
Seemed to get the shutdown over pretty quick when delays started happening.
Haven't shut down since.
It's not a work action to advocate following every rule in the 7110 and to be extra safe.
It's not a work action to send emails reminding people to tell their supervisor if they are "fatigued" or "task saturated" on recorded lines.
It's not about work action to ask people to write their congress people.
When was the last time you got any guidance about anything like that?

NATCA doesn't even have to threaten these things. They need to remind the politicians that historically, pissed off controllers have staged their own wildcat job actions without Nationals OK, they need to remind them the impact pissed off controllers can have on the system.

They can't vote to authorize a strike without the government releasing them for a strike under the RLA. Nobody came close to even getting to the point of the government looking at releasing anyone for a strike as far as I understand.

Each airline pilot union has made a movement to strike and the mere threat gets results. Given the results of the railroad and longshoremen’s economic impacts and the Biden’s administrative stance on labor the writing is on the wall for the companies that play hardball.

Proclamation Announcing the Death of James Earl Carter, Jr. | The White House
"I do further appoint January 9, 2025, as a National Day of Mourning throughout the United States."

The Airlines know it’s symbolic. Do you want NATCA National to put out an authorization to do a legal strike if we can get a legal strike? That’s all it is.

There’s nothing to talk about. It’s a holiday. The end.

What about opm guidance?
What about the fact that usually there are one or two holidays and with this the union has secured 40% more holiday pay than 2017. Huge wins all around!

Assess his politics as you may but there's no denying he had one of the most, if not the most, impactful post-presidencies.
