480 pilots from CAL, UAL, AMR, Expressjet, NWA, and a few others (sorry if I missed your airline), showed up for the rally/march. It was an incredible display of solidarity. I'd post a photo buy for some reason the computer won't let me.

Saw a photo in a link sent from the Union but saw nothing on the news as I was flying. Not a thing on Yahoo financial or USA Today Aviation news for Mar 12...hmmm. Just some things about the French wanting manslaughter charges against CAL for the Concorde crash and a blurb on the 11th about the merger assesment voted on by pilots.

Here's a report from the Street.com

http://www.thestreet.com/_yahoo/vide...=NA#1452170648

A special shout-out to the non Continental Pilots I marched side by side with from American, United, Delta, Air Tran and even Alaska.

Class act that was truly appreciated.

Thanks guys.

It was an awesome thing to be a part of. I'm glad I went.

The media was too busy with coverage of hookers and the NY governor to care about pilots. It did make the papers with photos. NY Star Ledger is the one I saw.
