....If the President can take away the right to strike by executive order, then why should he not have the right temporarily to nationalize the airline by executive order?....

I think the airlines were nationalized during WWII. I recently read an article on John L Lewis (the former head of the United Coal Workers Union). He called a nation-wide strike during WWII and were mines were nationalized in 1943. A dont remember if they stated it was the prez or congress who did the legal stuff.
