The bottom line is it doesn’t matter what is said on an online forum. Yes, it could potentially be used as evidence in a case, but that would only happen if pilots stopped picking up at a rate that can be statistically documented.

Guess what, if that documented work slowdown happens with no written documentation (online forums, emails, texts, etc) the company will still get a TRO against the pilots.

This whole system is completely rigged. The ONLY things we have as a pilot group are 1) getting released to self-help (very unlikely) and 2) a no vote if the TA is not up to snuff.

Pickets, billboards, radio ads, and not picking up extra flying all may make us feel good but that doesn’t get us a market contract. I’m not knocking pickets as they do help show unity, but we really only have 2 ways to get a deal we deserve. The rest is a dog and pony show.
