Hope and others who seem to think walking the picket line makes them a hero. Here's my take, it was what I was expected to do and a part of being a pilot for United Airlines. I did my duty then as a part of the pilot group as a whole as I do it now by following and supporting the contract we all live under today.

We, who walked the line just did what we had to do, nothing more, nothing less and I believe the expectation for all you who may be called in the future will do the same.
