Whatta laff.
I flew on the day after the strike in 1981 and the supervisors running the ATC positions were better and easier to work with then the regular controllers who were 3 times as many.
They don’t need to shut anything down. This is a union gig, straight up.

I wonder what Nancy is going to have to say about this? "We have to break eggs to make an omelette."
