See ME in the courts? Haha! You know I'm a FURLOUGHED United pilot right? I have as much influence on the CAL side as you do, considering I'm on the UAL side, and I'm furloughed. I have good friends a CAL, and I know how high the emotions are running over there. If you think blacklists are something new, then I don't know what to tell ya. I'm guessing you are from Skywest and are not remotely aware of how a unionized airline is run with regards to the hiring. Never burn bridges in the airline world, because you never know how it will affect your career. I have no easy solution, but Chip has put his own employees at risk for the bottom line. It doesn't feel good to be thrown under the bus, I should know.
