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 
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.

I agree, we should counter-sue. Their incompetence caused a meltdown, and it would have happened without APC or the SPACHOKER's website.
I hate to do it, but I'm gonna start applying the the big 3 and Fed Ex and UPS. It's just going to get worse around here.

If you've been off for multiple days in a row during this meltdown and have not received a single call from scheduling, make sure you get in touch with your ALPA rep. They would very much like to hear from you.

There should be a counter suit.
Pilots (even en-mass) who decide to all of a sudden not pick up open time cannot determine causality for a work action.
The weather is getting nicer, people value their time off more during this period of the year, or whatever you else you can think of.
The company is filing their lawsuit based on a false dichotomy: "Pilots aren't picking up open time as much, therefore job action." When you challenge the premise, there is no longer any argument. Any intelligent judge should be able to see this.
Scumbags.
