Really? You can justify crossing any pilot picket line? That sure says a lot about you. And besides, who are you trying to kid? Everyone knows that a scab-wannabe like you would cross any picket line you can find.
Besides, you don't know diddly-dick about our union, so you're not really pointing out anything. And are you seriously pushing ALPA as a better choice? All pilots on this forum do is bitch about ALPA, and how their complicated politics screwed their particular group over in favor of another. At least we know that our union, and our dues money, works specifically and only for our interests, unlike being part of a national organization with competing, and often contradicting, needs and interests.
Back to your hole, dumbass. We'll let you know if and when there's ever a picket line put up that you can cross. 'Kay?

It's a fact. The lawyer have been circling the wagon for weeks now in headquarters. Good luck to all, ch. 7 sux but at least there are plenty of regional jobs out there!
At least an ALPA pilot would have enough self-esteem not to wait for an
airline to have a strike vote and then rush in to take pilot Captain seats and
domiciles.
If you're not a Scab, it's by a technicality only!
Hey, look at you--attempting to make the same ignorant argument you did last page on this thread. Once again, demonstrating that you don't know diddly-dick about unionism in general, or scabs in particular (or for that matter, even very much about how the deal between our respective companies and unions actually went down). I don't know if this occurred to you or not, but just repeating the same stupid thing over and over, doesn't make it any more true.
Why don't you actually learn something about unions and industry, so that you don't look so much like a friggin' idiot when you post? Just a thought.

You sound just like the Eastern and Continental guys that keep trying
to justify, and rationalize taking jobs that they didn't earn.
Always looking for a short cut, rather than paying your dues and upgrading
to Captain when you can hold it by your rightfully earned seniority.
It probably hasn't occurred to you yet why other crew members avoid you.
Karma would probably see your airline getting bought, and you getting stapled.
It's ironic that some people that quote "The Golden Rule," have absolutely
no idea what it really means!
All I can say to that is your a moron!
You know that Airtran had actual scabs right?
Those that actually crossed a picket line while their airline was on strike. (you know for illiterate morons that don't know the meaning and throw it around with reckless abandonment well that is the definition of a scab).

Bubba, those boys and girls at AirTran who crossed were not scabs. The people in the lines were predominately scabs, PATCO certainly thought so. And ALPA was so sold out in the 80's that it had no real authority left and could never risk another strike at a major. Neither does SWAPA. But you feel free to test the theory.
Wow, shocker. Once again, Maru is babbling about stuff he knows absolutely nothing about. I never said that anyone ever became a scab while at AirTran. Nobody did. Especially with regard to crossing PATCO's line....mainly since AirTran didn't even exist then. Jesus, dude, pick up a history book once in a while, wouldja'? You'd look less stupid.
In fact, -I- didn't say anyone was a scab; someone else mentioned that AirTran (formerly named ValueJet) was started up with pilots who were primarily scabs from the Eastern strike of '89. All I said was that calling someone a scab, just because they do something that you don't like, is stupid, and a misuse and cheapening of the word. That's why I never actually called you a scab, since, to the best of my knowledge, you never actually crossed a legal strike picket line. You're only a wannabe-scab, since you've bragged that you would cross one. See the difference?--you're still a dickhead; you're just not an actual scab.
At least, not yet.
Bubba
Okay, I'm not one of those who thinks F9 is on their way out, but can anyone confirm/deny a rumor I recently heard about F9 being down to 5 gates in DEN by end of this year?
Sure; il be healthy walking it, if it comes to that. Hell, I wouldn't want to miss being there when you gleefully cross it. I bet you can't wait.

SWAPA does not have the balls to strike!
They won't even do informational picketing!
Actually, informational picketing was setup and ready to go, with a friggin' ton of eager volunteers. The response to the Strike Preparedness Committee's call was overwhelming. Then they called it off at the last minute, due to sudden and significant movement by the company toward our position. The union believes that the company is starting to realize that the pilots are serious and united about getting a good contract. Well that, and the fact the the F/As overwhelmingly rejected their TA (nearly 90% voting, with 86% of them voting no). The union now believes that a good TA can be had sooner rather than later, and called off the picketing as a sign of good faith.
However, those volunteer picketers are still on standby, and still ready to go when called, if the negotiating progress doesn't continue.
On the other hand, if you just want to bash SWAPA, then by all means knock yourself out.
Bubba
How come only some of your pilots are wearing the dark tie ?
