Turn the tables. If a whole small category got together (but only acted as onesy and twosy) and had a sickout/ greenslip campaign in which one person said to another "If you sick out, I will greenslip your trip." Then multiply this across the entire small category where this happened with everyone.

Would the company be up in arms? Would DALPA have to take action? Is there REALLY a difference between trip parking and sickout/greenslip? (beside the pay for trip.)

Just asking, not advocating.
That happened in PDX on the MD11 and yes the company was up in arms.
