Or course, you'd need access to VIPS to be able to access the clickable links! And, of course, then you'd be able to decipher the initials of the operating pilots (some of the usual suspects in there, as always!).
Wow, not even one Capt/RF2 on fr8dogs spreadsheet is on reserve. Disappointing

Are you surprised? It was ALWAYS just about them. I'm more disappointed in our union "brothers".

Also of note, R.O. (who appears on another list as the result of his actions at EAL in '89 ) and J.F. each have 2 pairings. At least they're doing their part to keep us from having more idiot union "brothers"!

Too early for that! And yes, pathetic!

They will likely just think a SIG rep dropped it off and go on their way without a second thought. Block reps call every pilot after he voluntarily flies a DP but that has not spread the message. The thought that fellow pilots will be taking a public stand against their behavior while they work against our SIG and our dues might make future DP pilots think twice. Maybe standing around and applauding isn't the answer, but I don't think anonymous notes are either. They need to look their fellow pilots in the eye while they stab us in the back if we ever expect it to stop. Maybe the group that was going to applaud could walk over at showtime and hand them the info and then walk away without a word? These guys need to know those trips weren't in open time so they could pad their paycheck or improve their schedule. They were there because their union asked them not to be flown and everyone complied except them. Either the SIG's work is important or it isn't. If it is them we need to make a public statement to back them IMO.
I agree with you 100%. That's how it would have been handled in the old Newark or Oakland bases. However, I'm not sure it would work in the Memphis base, because there, it seems to be about non-confrontational methods, for almost everything. Like I said in an earlier post, these guys need to be made aware that they are doing something that is wrong for both their fellow pilots, and wrong from the union perspective.

Consecutive employee numbers, what are the chances of that?

If you can't make 50K at 53.45 an hour, you are the lazy. No one said you can't fly extra. Just not disputed pairings. Best to do extra flying at draft, and (as my block rep put it) take Fred for everypenny you can.
Also, you said living wage. Even at 43K (2 months at 2k, 7 months at 68 hr, and 3 mo at 85 hr {contract mins, and in 8 years, I have never seen RLG on any jet at min}) you are making more than 60% of the population.

Well, how else can he make ends meet at $128/hr with only 120 credit hours on his schedule? Pathetic.
