Comparison of "published" information on the number of pilots striking:
Union numbers:
New Iberia, LA, 22 September 2006. The Office and Professional Employees International Union (OPEIU) Local 108 reports today that as its pilots strike at PHI, Inc. begins its third day it has confirmed its earlier estimate of affecting 80% of PHI's helicopter fleet. "Today is the beginning of the workweek for the second 50% of our pilot force and support is as strong as with the other 50% if not stronger," said local 108 president, Steve Ragin.
SEC numbers:
Although we implemented our contingency plan on that date, approximately 20% of the flights in our Domestic Oil and Gas segment, and 10% of
the flights in our Air Medical segment, remain curtailed.
Not sure how the company is only missing 20% if 80% of the union membership is on strike.
