Most companies outside the US airline business would realize that we screwed up and the employees must be rewarded enough to make the economic choice to come to work instead of play. Capitalism at it's finest.
Not so fast in the land of the free. The scumbag airlines have adopted the tactic that instead of a commitment of respect for the negotiating process in granting new compensation agreements to keep employees happy, they have decided to use the strong arm of the law to force participation levels equal to times when the employees felt more valued. This is Stalin
.
My ancestors went to war with a superpower for a less overreach of power. The airlines are using the courts to manage their business shortcomings.
Your anger is misplaced. I don't recall saying I was celebrating the fate of Spirit's pilots attempt to push forward negotiations. I was only trying to raise the reasoning for the injunction based on the rules around strike action. I get that they'd rather not take formal strike action, their problem is in what is interpreted as a violation of the labour laws.
