(Pittsburgh Captain Rep Fred) Freshwater insisted that his opposition accurately reflected the majority view of US Airways' 850 pilots based at Pittsburgh International Airport. He said most of the phone calls he has received encouraged him to "hold the line'' against company givebacks.
But according to Jack Stephan, spokesman for the pilots' union, all but three of 40 to 50 pilots who attended an MEC meeting Tuesday in suburban Washington, D.C., spoke against using the roll-call vote as a blocking tactic.
"If (Freshwater) is so right, then why did so many pilots show up (at the MEC meeting) to say he was wrong?'' Stephan said.
