The pilot’s union should be allowed to mediate interactions between the pilots and their employer (the airline). If the pilots are found at fault, it should be able to negotiate fair treatment for them. But it should absolutely not be allowed to stonewall government safety investigations. Holy shit, why would you even think that?

If representing the the interests of their members involves picking a fight with the government, the union should do that. If they don’t lose a fight with the NTSB pretty quickly in a case like this, they’ve helpfully exposed a glaring problem with the regulatory framework.

Well, I guess we will find out the outcome pretty quick as they have now been subpoenaed and will probably be found in contempt of court if they don’t do it now.
