I don't think you have any sympathy for the above actions and are more concerned that the APA leaders called you guys out. I may be wrong about this but the actions APA took, at least one, was based on taking pilots with airplanes and not pilots with routes.
FBN even feels/said it was the rogue actions of the CAL side that created the discourse the APA leader mentions between the United pilot groups. Those are the facts, no conjecture.
If you have a problem, it's not with me! I was just pointing out an APA leader mentioning an overreach by the CAL pilots as a direction he hopes the America West/USAir pilots don't attempt in settling their senority dispute. He's right, why would he want a bunch of unhappy pilots?
