I believe ND will get his day and that he will probably win back some jobs, or at least some sort of "deal" from CX. You know as well as I do that the 49'ers reeks of a personal grudge list. I can just imagine those

No one supports pilots, ever. They just don't have support of the masses. The only thing a pilot does have, is the union. Pilots need the union and union members need to enforce the rules.
