None of us goes back from strike unless we all go back together and that includes the probies. There will be no hostage taking by management. They tried that scare tactic crap at Comair. Screw them. We won.
If I remember correctly, the new contract will have a "no hostages clause" in it which brings all pilots back after strike. Anyone care to help me out here??
If I were you, I'd be proud to tell the story of how I was fired because I wouldn't cross the picket line...only to be rehired thanks to my union brethren! That's unity!
