"Refusal to work overtime" is an illegal job action? Has not the eminent senator heard of the 14th amendment? You know, the one that abolished slavery and gave individuals the right to negotiate the terms of their employment? Sickouts are one thing, but if a refusal to work overtime is causing so much chaos doesn't it indicate that management should do more to attract & retain competent pilots, maybe even invest in scholarships and pay the newbies a bit more? Am I missing something here? Or is it just a classic case of airline executives deciding it's cheaper to buy a few politicians than to invest in their own operation?
