Amerijet Strike

[filejw]

If you notice it is an ALPA list that everybody is carrying around. This is a closly guarded product that is added to only when you cross a line and fly an aircraft that should have been flown by the striking pilots. This fantasy of struck work has it's origins in the trucking industry and was only brought into the airline buss by the UPS parcel pu33ies. No one I know in the pax side really cares about this definition that somehow made this jump, as evidenced by the lack of names being added to the real list.

Now the pilots that fly an actual Amerijet aircraft that is a completely different story. But unfortunately if you reference the list you will notice that behind each name is a reason that they made the list, find one that refers to a non-ALPA carrier.

Just my .02

I would check that definition of struck as the term was in use long before UPS was an airline. There are people on the list that operated aircraft in a situation similar to what the canadian company are doing. If somebody is moving passengers or freight for a struck company they meet the definition of the term scab....the Lear jet charter would not.

Prove it

I can not find them anywhere. I am not taking sides here I am just pointing out the facts. I have have had this debate with numerous folks that have participated in several job actions and none of them have been able to find any additions to the list that has circulated for years.

If we take your definition then certainly every Delta pilot (Comair strike) and almost every other pilot for a major would then be a scab as passengers were re-routed during the various job actions over the years.

Heck you might be a scab just because you let a car ahead of you on the freeway in a traffic jam just because it happened to have a scab driving. My point is you are painting with a wide brush that quite frankly I do not believe most are ready to paint with.

Well i don't have a list but i was involved in the mid 70's with strike at a commuter. Guys from a company that picked up the stuck carriers people at our gates were on the list at one time...later time for a bike ride ..

Please feel free to let your feelings on Cargojet flying struck freight be known here: http://www.avcanada.ca/forums2/viewtopic.php?t=57834 More Canadians in aviation visit this site than anywhere else, which include Cargojet pilots and management (the Senior VP of Cargojet Airways is a semi-regular contributor).

How about the striking Amerijet pilots publish the names of the scab Amerijet pilots and post on this website. Lets get the names out asap. We all need to know the names so we can deny them jumpseats and treat them like the scabs thay are. Maybe that will discourage others that are considering crossing the line.
Good luck guys.

I bet the famous John M. is one of the "new" old scabs! Or maybe his book kept him from having to cross this time?

For instance, if a Amerijet commuter is flying out of CLT or RDU to MIA/FLL or PBI (a "random" example of course) one should be careful to make sure the required certificates and paperwork are carried. Hate to see a Captain carry someone not properly documented.

Are you saying that a person who works for a company that flies freight is a scab if they fly freight that would have been flown by Amerijet? Get a life!!!! If Amerijet pilots are on strike than the customers will just move their goods another way. Its not your freight and you always run the risk of losing business when a strike occurs. No different than when Eastern went on strike years ago and the passengers just moved to a different airline. They weren't considered struck passengers where they? I hope the best for all of my fellow pilots but before you start posting peoples names you better think about what a scab is. By all means if you see somebody flying your aircraft while you are on strike than post their names but if you post names of pilots who work for another company trying to get them on some scab list that nobody really cares about, you have problems.

Disagree.
Next.
If your flying their routes because they are unable due to a labor dispute then that makes you a scab.

John M was ousted a few years back. Biggest *********************************** ever in a cockpit.

 

[glasspilot]

JOHN M was the biggest prick EVER in aviation.

Flying a package on your route that was going to be on a striking airline is not flying struck work. Flying a new city pair into where a striking airline went is flying struck work.

Please don't cave Amerijet. I hope to God you guys get the company to stop screwing you over. I worked there and could not bear to stay and fight the fight so I left for greener pastures. Please don't cave on this and make me regret leaving.

JOHN M is the biggest piece of crap to ever fly....ever.

I thought CAT was T/U.

MCDU. Regarding the avatar, not what Sir Mix A lot was talking about.

He is an idiot. CAT's cert has been gone for a long time.

I don't know, John M has a lot of competition

Anybody care to tell how he fell from grace?
