Amerijet Scabs/Jumpseat Heads Up

[SpauldingSmails]

When airline pilots go on strike, the MEC should release the names of striking union pilots (with their permission of course). This way other pilots can immediately identify by deduction who is a scab, by not being on the "good list".

Where can one find a current scablist?

Good thought, but it might fall apart after a few days. You can bet that in any strike, there will be a certain percentage who can be seen screaming at Scabs with a torch and pitchfork while walking on the picket line, and on day 4, they suddenly go "NORDO".
Phone calls from SPC about picket line duty go unanswered. Voicemail requests from fellow strikers go unanswered. The window shades are drawn at home. And suprisingly, a grainy picture emerges of the "tough guy" hiding on the floor of a SCAB van coming out a SITA checkpoint.

Meanwhile, the rest of the industry has a 3 day old strike list showing him as a "good guy"


Just a thought.

Google "Master Scab List"

I believe the pilots on strike have been terminated.

You believe this based on what?

 

[SpauldingSmails]

Just a thought.

... and a valid point I had not considered.

In either case though, a name not on the list would still be most certainly a scab however.

Please pull for the Amerijet cause. Worst outfit I ever worked for. I knew I needed to find a new job while still in initial training. I wish them all them best. They have been dealing with conditions most of us wouldn't believe.

Have we confirmed if a striking Amerijet pilot CAN even jumpseat. It would be an easy thing for the company to just turn off their CASS computer.

As far as most of the "don't use the jumpseat as a weapon against scabs" is probably because the definition of "scab" has become so broad, which in my view cheapens the word and makes "scabs" more acceptable. It is not someone that flies for an alter ego, flies for a non-union carrer, or flies for some other outfit that has torqued off some other outfit...

a SCAB is someone who flies for a company while that company has pilots on strike.

For these people I say deny the jumpseat, don't let them back into ALPA, it's sterile on the flight deck if you're flying with them, and if some used baby diapers end up in their flight cases then yahoo!

Later

Whether you agree with this or not, ALPA's goal is to get every airline pilot in the United States speaking with one voice under the ALPA umbrella so to speak.

God I hope not. We will end up with a single national seniority list. Imagine upgrading then some carrier goes under dumping a couple of thousand pilots senior to you in the woodpile. You could end up going back to the right seat for years and jerking gear for some old timer with only a few weeks at your company.

No thanks!

Added some names to my book.....There's a lot of young-ish faces on that website. I don't know why anyone would scab in a highly unionized industry such as this, but for a relatively young person to do it for the wages Amerijet offers? Why risk getting added to a list that could do some serious damage to your future earnings potential and quality of life? Penny-wise, pound foolish if you ask me, even if you don't agree with the strike.

Google IBT Amerijet, make a phone call.

Or, just spend 2 minutes quizzing a potential rider as to who he is, where he's going, why he's going. From my personal experience, the type of person who is a Scab will display an evasive, "weasel" type personality that you'll probably pick up on. It's basic profiling, same thing a Cop is going to do to you if you get pulled over.

You may still get B.S'd, but the chances are that the type of person who thinks the career floodgates are going to open at Amerijet for crossing a line, isn't going to be replacing Billy Mays.

The scab will:
Will have the smell of human excrement on their breath
Will not look you in the eye
Will have a founding member of NAMBLA card in their wallet
Will smell of ball sweat

Feel free to add your own!

Tell me, should I check every CAL or Airtran pilot before I let them on the jumpseat? Cause if you answer no you are a hypocrit.

Don't forget to check United pilots there Mikey boy.

 

[Airbum]

there was more then a few UPS mgt pilots who are scabs also. Some have now retired but several remain.

 

[Turtle21]

Where was your indignation when ALPA let the scabs back in the union? Plus I can't tell you how many times people have said on this forum that the jumpseat should not be used as a weapon? Which is it folks? Are we against scabs or are we not? Do we deny jumpseats or don't we?

I think the scabs should have never been allowed back in the union, and I also think it's perfectly acceptable to deny the jumpseat for any number of reasons.

Tell me, should I check every CAL or Airtran pilot before I let them on the jumpseat? Cause if you answer no you are a hypocrit.

What airline did Prater come from? Yep. That explain a lot about ALPO.
