Tilton's gone. But don't think for a moment that they didn't learn a thing or two during his tenure.

Harrumph!!!

AA pilots shut the airline down, stared down a court and ignored a Federal judge. I don't know the details of the aftermath except that the court issued an injunction that was at least initially, ignored.


The parties returned to the table and fixed the problems. If the fine was levied it was added to the compensation package which kept APA from going broke.



A legacy AA guy would have to chime in to explain further.
Delta pilots stopped picking up overtime in 2001. A judge handed us our ass and even went so far as to state that while the union had done nothing to encourage ceasing overtime they had a duty to control their membership. In addition the company personally sued each pilot they were able to identify from message boards for 1 million dollars each for encouraging the no overtime campaign.
