That's a tough gig at O'Hare. Good for your brother-in-law not going on strike. That was really tough back in '81. Reagan had to deal with the PATCO strikers because the post office workers were thinking of striking and watching what was going to happen to the controllers. A lot of my friends lost their jobs then. PATCO made a big mistake in talking about striking for years before they actually pulled the trigger. FAA management were smart in promoting a number of controllers to staff jobs so they would be around to work the boards. Lots of overtime though. Tough time for sure.
