Not one, and I'm pretty good at search engine stuff.

Have you seen a link that isn't a blog or a bunch of Flickr pictures?

ONE "mainstream" news report?

One?

The pilots' protest was not part of the occupy Wall Street protest, though. These were United/Continental pilots protesting how the management of the new merged airline is handling their contract negotiations.

6. I just hope there are Democrats on the Hill (who might feel
humiliated by people daring to protest Wall St and
therefore using their clout on MSM. Just saying.

This is not unheard of BTW.

7. There's been some coverage, but their protest wasn't really
connected at all with the Occupy Wall Street one. It was very specific and had to do only with issues important to the pilots. They weren't protesting the same things that Occupy Wall Street is at all.

But, there has been coverage of it, mainly in the financial media.
