Sunday

The airline surrendered,

They announced there would be a strike but "we don't know when or at which airport." The strikes proceeded and fucked up a few flights but the strike was over before the lawyers could come back with an injunction.

A few days later, another strike Same result.

A couple more and the public could not depend on there being a flight at any given time so bookings were cancelled or not made.

Alaska gave up in a short time.
