In the departures hall of Washington Dulles International Airport, hundreds of uniformed United Airlines pilots filed silently past travelers pulling suitcases and children toward the check-in kiosks.
Faces stoic, they carried signs with messages such as "Fix our schedules!" and "Future pilots are watching."
Such protests have been staged at airports all across the country in recent weeks, as United, American and Southwest airlines have all been engaged in contract talks. Quality of life issues have taken center stage.
