Carl, they sued individual pilots. The company made a claim against individual pilots, who were identified through, among other things, forum posts. They became known as 49ers, since originally 49 individual pilots were sued by the company, including I believe, every member of the MEC. They were all served, I believe, at their home, late at night.
