Message: [QUOTE="AAflyer, post: 688222, member: 70"] Tell you what, the copmany seems to regularly "break the contract", so maybe you could do the same and "not fly the contract to the word". I don't condemn and we each do our own things for own reasons. This was the contract 69% of us agreed to, so make it work for you. However I have to draw the line at the "premium flying". The union asked the company not to furlough as we would be short, they didn't listen, furloughed and we were short. The company has cancelled block hours, and asked us to premium fly in the exact divisions we furloughed from...Things that make you go hmmmmm. I wouldn't have a problem with premium flying if we were hiring and couldn't keep up with all the flying, but this is a 180 from that, and I guess I would tend to look at the "spirit" in which it was designed. Remember a dAAy for a dAAy? Nobody can stop you are anyone else from picking it up, and I wouldn't label you or anyone else a SCAB for doing it. It is unprofessional at a minimum, however ssing that term is just as silly as calling our flowbacks SCABS, or calling the CHQ pilots SCABS for taking flying from Eagle, or even as dispicable as it is "*************************s". A SCAB is a person who will seek out and cross a picket line. Feel free to use any other word in the dictionary (in fact I could think of a few not in the dictionary :D ), but let's save SCAB for what it really is.. IMHO, AA [/QUOTE]
