So yes, courts of law in the past have determined that is in an illegal job action for a line pilot to recommend / imply, etc that other pilots stop picking up overtime, or green slips, or what ever your airline calls it, just because they are in contact negotiations. That’s because it is a violation of the status quo and status quo is required to be maintained after the amendable date of the contact has passed.
Ahh, well everyone should pick up open time then.
