Are you being deliberately obtuse? This thread is about a possible strike at Allegiant. The original post said a date was set, and it was wrong. Then all the subsequent posts dealt with safety, which while a legitimate topic was not germane to whether there was going to be a strike. So I give the actual reason that a strike was authorized and you attack me?
Pilot fatigue is a very real safety issue. The pilot's union has been very clear about that concern. But I must say I enjoy seeing people citing CBS's 60 minutes as a reliable source of information. And this particular pilot's union has a record of going public with safety concerns at the airline where they work. It is possible to have more than one priority.. safety and workplace rules which impact safety are two.

So your attack on the union is completely misdirected.
