Default All remaining US carriers file bankruptcy

Thats it folks,,it's all done,,all pilots unanimously quit today siting they are fed up with the business, economy and tired of all other crappy things that are happening to us,,all flights are grounded, no-one is flying,,spokesmen suggested Greyhound and Amtrak for alternate travel arrangement for anyone still wanting to go somewhere.

Good luck and may God bless us all.

I think that is what needs to happen everyone calls out sick and mean everyone for one day and force congress to address three or four major points. The problem is ALPA won't grow some hair on their peaches and the guys that have a good QOL don't care.
