So much so that 28 flight cancellations last August was grounds for the company to accuse the CAL pilot group of a mass sickout in the press. I mean it couldn't have been because the reserves were used up and pilots were maxed out on various legalities and the chief pilots were already out flying or anything. I hear the union is still waiting on the company to provide proof of their allegations.
