You guys have all the leverage. Think about it for a minute, if an entire seniority list walked off the job (in a legal job action of course) who could replace them? You even have the media on your side which is unbelievable. Imagine the headline: "Pilots of XYZ airline walk off the job in protest of $22,000/year starting pay." This subject has gained serious traction. You are doing the right thing by escalating it. If not now then when?
