I am curious to see the level of participation across all regionals. I had a legit medical condition that has been well documented. Anybody notice more trips in open time than usual?

If anyone did participate, it had no effect... completion factors across the board were normal.

That lack of a job action has emboldened management.


Actually $31,200, with all the free fries you want!!!

LoL - you do realize the only thing you can collective get a group of pilots to do, is fly airplanes for minimum wage.

burger flippers are a more collective group who apparently see their job as "work" and aren't willing to show up for nothing. Pilots, on the other hand would "do this job for free".

Now i'm gonna retire before I start sounding like Skyhigh ;)

I doubt they are a more collective group who sees their job as more "work" than a pilot does. It's easier to perform a random "job action" when you haven't spent north of $150k on training and college, and years of time invested, because if you do get fired, you simply take your "skills" from Burger King to the White Castle down the street that is always hiring. You lose nothing. No pay, QOL, ability to get a future job at the same level, etc. It is far less a gamble than a pilot.
