For most of this year, the Southwest pilots have been in conflict with the company over a number of issues.

In August, the pilots union sued and filed a complaint in federal court in Dallas claiming that the carrier implemented an "emergency time off" program, altered schedules, and scaled back prescription drug and retirement benefits without bargaining, in violation of federal labor law.

There's also been a lot of bitterness over Southwest's on-again-off-again efforts to force vaccinations on unwilling pilots.

Today, the pilots will hold a rally at the Frontiers of Flight Museum on Lemmon Avenue at the southeast corner of Dallas Love Field.
