Blunder is a good name for you.
In any airline where the majority of the pilots had any backbone, the sacking of 49 pilots would result in the immediate shutdown of the airline and picket lines across the front of Kitty City and the airport terminal.
Even if every one of the pilots lost his or her job, that is what pilots, when directed by REAL union, do.
Anyone who crossed those picket lines would be considered a scab.
A recruitment ban is just another pu$$y-ass attempt at pretending to care while RISKING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
Have members of our GC who took upgrades to fill the places of the 49ers copped any flak?
Get real.
