Court upholds injunction against United pilots
Dayton Business Journal
An injunction against United Airlines pilots for organizing "sick-outs" has been upheld by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Northern District of Illinois, according to a report from Reuters.
The injunction, issued in November, was against the Air Line Pilots Association and four individual pilots for what was termed "a deliberate, organized and unlawful campaign of sick leave abuse, pilot intimidation and other actions" that resulted in the cancellation of hundreds of flights.
United blamed organized "sick-outs" for the cancellation of 329 flights from July 19-27, 2008, resulting in the loss of $8 million in revenue and $3.9 million in operating profit.
United Airlines, a unit of UAL Corp. (NASDAQ: UAUA), is one of the largest airlines serving Dayton International Airport.
