Helicopter Pilots on Strike

Helicopter pilots employed at PHI went on strike today. From the Daily Advertiser:

"PHI's unionized pilots are expected to begin their strike today despite the company's attempt to get a federal court injunction to prevent them, a union official said Tuesday...PHI is a helicopter transportation company that flies oil and gas workers into the Gulf for companies such as Shell, Exxon and BP. It is unclear as to exactly what kind of an impact this could have on the oil and gas sector."

I've discussed the possible repercussions of this here and here. Let's hope this ends quickly. But I'd fill up you gas tank while you still can, this could really have far reaching consequences.
