AMR management are clear:
"We think you're doing this and doing it on purpose...":
Quote:
This unlawful conduct is taking the form of discretionary pilot actions including such things as delaying departures for unnecessary checks, increased and late-filed maintenance write-ups, increased block times due to slow taxiing, and circuitous routings. This behavior has been accompanied by statements from pilots indicating that the activity is intended to “send a message” to the Company to express displeasure with AMR management, the Court’s Section 1113 decision and the absence of a new consensual agreement with the Company.
I can see their point of view on these matters. Whether I agree with them is a completely different issue. However, the above aside, it will be a very disturbing path to take if they start taking action against pilots for calling in sick. The 'go-slow' is something different, and more for the legal bods to deal with.
