You say we (YX), bring only pilots and no planes. You are correct. Get real. Your company came in and sold our airplanes and replaced us with you. You took our gates, our front line employes, our mechanics and our hangars all while locking out our pilots and F/A's. To say we brought nothing speaks volumes of your level of maturity. We are locked out with your blessing. Too bad we have to force our way back into our positions through the legal system. I only hope we can inflict as much pain on your pilot group that you have on ours. Like they say, paybacks are hell.
