But I’m not advocating for that (I haven’t really advocated for anything, just shooting holes in these FUD campaigns). You’re comparing apples to oranges to fit your pro-company, anti-pilot narrative that you normally have. Shocker.
An individual deciding to not work on a day off isn't illegal. People on web boards giving people crap for signing up for VDAs, and attempting to drive behavior is. It's fairly simple. Sure, it's a mild illegal job action, but it's still technically illegal.
I'm not excusing the company's behavior with regard to the CBA. If I were in charge, I would demand the same level of respect that I expect from my peers. I just think it's interesting that people defend/encourage violations if it's in their interest, and scream bloody murder if it's the company working against them.
Principles shouldn't change depending upon the individual's point of view.
