Just another rumour?

Friend of mine just asked if I had heard anything about a planned co-ordinated action by pilots at major airlines to protest attacks on pensions etc by chapter 11 and other devices.
With Apl 1 approaching I am inclined to dismiss it as just another rumour, but there have been some rumblings at BA, Northwest, Delta, UAL, and several others.
To co-ordinate something like that would take an IFALPA initiative, and all seems to be quiet on that front, so it must only be a rumour.

Why would you need IFALPA? Surely this thread will be all you need to make the respective managements cower......
