Default Pilot Labor Climate at UAL

Looks like the downward spiral of labor relations at UAL is tightening:

Capt Wallach should give a seminar at a law school on advocacy. Someone kick you in the nuts, you kick him right back and some. Keep up the good work, Captain. And it's good to have the public know about this.

If they discipline ONE pilot for wearing the wristband, all pilots should show up to the chief pilots office for the same discipline. (Sort of like the movie Rudy)

I have no respect for this type of management. Good luck United guys and gals.

Apparently something like that happened a number of years ago at Eagle. They told the Cp's if they see anybody wearing whatever it was they need to fire them on the spot. I guess someone got ended up getting fired. So whole bunch pilots went down to the cp's office looking to get "in view" of the cp with the contraband ribbons, I think it was. He fired like 10 people. All were scheduled to start their trips that day. It got bad people where tracking him down to get fired. He ended locking self in his office so he wouldn't have to fire anybody else. Long story short a whole bunch of flights cx'd and everybody had there job back in a week. So the story goes.

Any chance that people that DON'T work for United can get some of those bands?
