Which gets back to the question you couldn't answer. Point to a time when this kind of work action has succeeded.

Not answering your phone on a GDO is NOT a work action.

It is when the group as a whole changes their behaviour in a way that is detrimental to the company. Unless your personal opinion actually matters in court - I suspect it doesn't.

I'm in the middle of 10 days off in a row. They called around 6am Saturday morning, but I didn't hear it. I haven't had a call since.

It's summer time. The wx is getting nice. Days off become more valuable than in say February.

Block hours went up and attrition went up and spare airplanes are parked with covers on the engines and some bad wx rolled through some key cites last week with no planes or empty seats to pick up the slack. This is a product of that not a work action. We've seen this before here.

For somebody else to decide but your management's argument appears to be something like, "We can statistically show that prior to threats being made by other pilots, we had X amount of people picking up trips and answering phones....now after this action, they don't pick up anymore."

I agree I don't know how a judge can get inside one's head about when they prefer to stay home and play golf vs go out and work.

Was off several days in a row, exactly zero calls. What work action? This was deliberate on the company's part. We should sue them for work action :p

I emailed my evidence of no calls on days off to the union folks, as should you . Don't forget a screenshot of your schedule showing the days off.
