This seems like it is directly out of the Regan/republican play book. Bust the union at all costs regardless of the consequences. Had there been an accident in 1981, Regans legacy would have been quite different.

Another thing you got wrong...
ATC went ON STRIKE, Reagan TOLD THEM to get back to work and barter better or they'd be thumbing their way home with no take-home pay.
Guess what?
They decided they were better than anyone else.
Reagan kicked them out of the way and the world didn't care one bit.
Biting the hand of the one that feeds you does have some consequences.
But, does anyone learn from it?
Re-written history...tastes better with the bull54!t wiped off.
