If the union asks or organizes everyone to call in sick on a specific day, that would be considered illegal job action. Now…. If you personally decide you don’t feel great today and it just happens to line up with everyone else not feeling great today, That’s a different story. However, this type of job action is dangerous.

No, you're not going to fool them this way.

Any "bookoff" type event that falls outside the statistical norm will be deemed illegal job action. Yes, I know each pilot must self-assess their fitness and on an individual basis that's defensible but in the context of contract negotiations and suddenly a large percentage of pilots are all suddenly "not fit". Well, the CIRB would call it what it is - illegal. I mean "illegal" according to the stacked deck that our country's labour laws are.

Yes "illegal" the same way forced arbitration is illegal, apparently. If we are forced to fight fire with fire, that's what needs to happen.
