But DAL pilots did the same thing in the mid-2000s and the judge said they were performing an illegal job action by not picking up open-time. He made it clear to DALALPA they needed to inform their pilots to stop NOT picking up open-time. WHAT? Open-time pick up is a voluntary option. How can a pilot be doing an illegal job action if he flies his legally published full schedule each month? If I want to pick up a trip this month but then decide there are no trips in open-time I like until, I don't know, NEXT YEAR how is that a job action? Management really did a good job convincing the judge of that.
