Default Will the "Immigrant Boycott" shut down any airports?

Tomorrow is the so-called "Immigrant Boycott", planned so that illegal
aliens can make a show of their economic clout in America by staying
home from work.

Given the number of "immigrants" working at major big city airports, I
can foresee some major problems if this thing really takes off. From
my casual observances as an airline passenger, LAX, LAS and ORD seem to
have literally hundreds of Hispanic laborers working in all aspects of
operations, from baggage handling to ground ops. If they all boycott
work tomorrow...

I know the lodging industry is having a bird about the potential impact
of this boycott, as evidenced by the hilarious "urgent action updates"
we have been receiving from the Lodging Association. We are finding it
truly enjoyable to watch as all the corrupt hoteliers who hired illegal
aliens in the first place -- basically everyone else in the lodging
industry -- panics about their plight.

Anyone have any idea if the airlines have contingency plans for this
sort of thing? What'll they do if there's no one to unload the
planes?
