Yeah, it happened. But nobody on the most gossipy, drama filled airline forum on the internet is talking about it. Weird...huh?

I think he was referring to this forum... Unfortunately.

From talking with others, and from reading about this on other forums, it looks like it didn't happen at all.

The proposed sickout was really kind of a stupid idea anyhow. It's organizers should have realized that they would get a lot of internet chest thumping, but little action. Oh, and that it really only hurts their own carriers by harming their performance, not the legacies they were targeting. Oh, and that it's illegal.

After the Envoy/PSA announcement, I'm amazed a single Envoy pilot showed up for work today!

They showed up and I bet completion factor was high as well. Just like when Endeavor started their EtD program a few months ago, stabbing their current FOs in the back. The day after they announce EtD, everyone shows up to fly.

The McDonalds sit-in had a better response. 150 cities affected and multiple arrests. They want $15 /hour. Well that's 30K a year. Hmmm, just to flip burgers.

That lack of a job action has emboldened management.
