I have met many mainline pilots that felt if they struck at their airline it would have been acceptable. So it's kind of a double standard to label Comair pilots for doing what every pilot would like to do to their management. Show them how important of a role they play in everyday operations. And even more important on holidays.
I wasn't around back then. But the feeling I get is that the reason mainline pilots dislike comair has more to do with the things the MEC said when they were furloughing. He was very arrogant and didn't want to lend a helping hand to DAL furloughs.
