You should have written in the CBA an option to strike. There's no reason why you shouldn't have that option like the airlines do. Air Methods and even the PHI union they have doesn't have it written in there as a strike clause. If the companies willing to change the rules as they seem fit, why shouldn't the union or the pilots be able to strike. Should be given an option that anything more than three negotiations. You have the option to vote to strike. I haven't seen that in any of the CBAs for air Medical.  That's why the company can stall and do whatever they want because there's no threat of a strike. That's why the airlines have so much power and pole because the airlines can't go more than a week or two with loss of revenue if the pilot strike
