Eventually the holes in the Swiss cheese align and you get weeks like this one. I haven't flown on a day off since August and don't plan to start now.
That said, make damn sure you're where you're supposed to be when you're supposed to be there. This will get ugly and hostages will be taken. CYA. F5.
I agree a couple guys shouldn't become a successful lawsuit in the companies favor. But on the flip side of your statement a lawyer could make this work in the companies favor as well. The nasty picture these guys paint on these forums easily makes it seem like 80-90% of the pilots are all for their way of thinking. This could easily turn into a scenario where the actions of a few effect us all. I seriously hope not and I hope we're able to counter any potential lawsuit the company may bring but regardless times are about to get real dark here.
