Yup Airbubba, have the "jumpsuit protection list" on my desktop...some familiar names are on it, most of the "fleet qualified" 75K United folks went on to other airlines...the name calling and threats were real during the events, but soon forgotten, and after all ALPA is a business, they need income, and pilots provide this...while I tend to agree in principle with the strikes, and the reasons for them, lets be real, the threat of career destruction is an empty threat...would I cross a picket line?, no, but again have always been gainfully employed so it wasn't a consideration, others I know did so to feed their families..
