It's very hard for industry outsiders to know what's really going on with the strike. I have more than a few old friends involved, on both sides of the fence and I wish them all well. But I take all reports of how many pilot are striking and how many aren't with huge grains of salt.
Stan, don't be too hard on Vern...I mean, <ahem> <cough-cough> "industry insider." He is only reporting number as related to him - they may or may not be shaded for effect. And we know where he stands on the issue of unions.
