Amerijet Scabs/Jumpseat Heads Up

[PCL_128]

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

Captain Prater was a full-term striker. The idea that someone like you would criticize him is laughable.

People always complain about how bad ALPA is but never try to change it from the inside. Prater is a great example of how good ALAP can be.

Did it ever occur to you that Prater helped toss CAL's independent union in preference for returning to ALAP? Is it just a coincidence that Prater rose to where he did? It is amazing what one can do from within ALPA.. that is if you can just get your union back inside it.

Did anyone ever notice the loudest proponents of changing ALPA from the inside are the ones who receive the most FPL? Oh, yeah... don't forget.. we are ALPA.

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.

YES! YOU SHOULD! When I worked at XJT (dba as CoEx) I had a UAL guy look my name up on the list. I was 10 years old in 83 but I had no objection to it. I understand his concern completely.

I just ask the CAL pilots when they were hired. One guy said '83. I asked if he was hired during the strike. He said yes and tried to justify himself. Then he started bragging about how it was the best decision he ever made. Unfortunately, my captain let him on. Fortunately, I was able to sabotage his bag and ruin all his clothes. Childish, yes. Do I feel good about it? Damn right. I'd do it again if given the opportunity.

This thread needs to remain active until the strike is over.
Those who cross a picket line are Scabs.
If you cross a picket line then you belong on the Master Scab List.
Sadly it appears I will be adding to my list.
