WRONG, they did not contact the pilots. At least not the two pilots I

If they would have done what they say they did (contacting pilots
first) you would have not seen such a reaction.

If you are indeed correct, then there IS a problem. But I would first
like to hear the other side of this accusation...

I have been going on the premise presented in Doug's originalmessage in
this thread. There have been some generalizations made about
"policing" and removing flights, but I thought they were just
overreactions to a polite request to act within applicable FARs and
withdraw one's own flight. If flights are disappearing without the
pilot's knowledge, that is bad, as due process is being violated.
