Given the depth of Hustler's vernacular, I guess he must be a 49er. I sympathise with him more than he would like to understand - if that is so. Binginterviewed doesn't understand that 50 odd pilots were selected, for whatever reason, for summary termination. That was a disgusting act and should not be seen as anything else. Now we have both parties involved in the dispute taking intimidatory actions, threats and bullying. For me, the tragedy remains that most, if not all, of the 49ers could have been re-employed by now. The disunion, by supporting its own members acceptances of upgrades etc actually filled the 50 odd slots from within its own ranks - unbeleeevable. And expects the young aircrew to not take slots - unbeleeeevable. There is no merit in the ban, supported by IFALPA/USALPA/TWU/MWU/Sinn Fein or whomsoever. It just doesn't cut the mustard.
