More than 700 Continental and United Continental pilots took to Wall Street on Tuesday to protest slow contract negotiations and misinformation regarding merger integration. The demonstrating pilots marched together, quietly, in order and in full uniform, holding two signs.
"Merger Progress is More than Painting Airplanes," said one sign. "Management is Destroying our Airline," said another sign.

It seems that in addition to police the occupy wall street movement is also getting support from airline pilots.

As the days go on I wonder how many other groups will join the cause. What is going on in this country is affecting everyone in some form or fashion and I am glad to see that others are joining the fight.

The OP seems to be blatantly misleading people into thinking the two are connected.
While the bankers and wall street thieves aren't exactly my pals either, you can't go around around claiming people are carrying signs in support of your cause until we actually are.

A member of TWU Local 100 told a reporter that they would join the protest Friday at 4PM. Read more: www.businessinsider.com...
