How do you know?(scabs)

[mar]

We agree, but let's clarify.

No, not so...Duh.

A scab is crossing a picket line, hopefully he will burn in hell...No excuse.

Everyone say it with me, "A scab crosses a picket line...*to take the job of a striker*."

Nice job.

 

[atafan]

Who's a scab? what's a scab? Where are scabs working?

Who cares, "professional" pilots are so busy stabbing each other in the back, who has time for scabs?

Listen, you can hear management from all airlines laughing loudly.......

This is a lesson for everyone here. This is exactly the reason I get so bent out of shape about this scab whining to the extreme.

Is that because your a scab!!

I agree the only way to protect our careers is to stand together but when someone crosses the line it tears downs years of hard work and sacrifice!

You have no right to get bent out of shape..if you are a scab! You are managements best friend!

If you are a dues paying member...good for you! But you are in a seat that does not belong to you!

Let's see. I walked a picket line for 25 months and my ALPA pin has a star on the top of it. Now that the important stuff is out of the way, I danged well earned my right to have my opinion.

It stems from the fact that I have seen so much destruction perpetrated by loyal upstanding ALPA members upon others that we tend to forget that we are ALL our own worst enemies. To only focus on one segement within us is foolish and allows management to divide and conquer and drive wedges. I have witnessed first hand the mindset of hell bent unionism destroying families, careers and livelihoods. What difference in the long run are these people than scabs? Do they get a pass just because they pay dues and receive that glossy ALPA magazine?

So yes I do get bent out of shape because of ignorance amongst us. Yes I have been around the block a couple of times. Perhaps I am just mature enough to see beyond the juvenile antics and name calling for the greater good of the entire pilots on property. To assume I am a scab because I do not subscribe to your infantilism and ignorance only proves my point.

You speak of years of hard work and sacrifice. Would you care to comment on, as I mentioned earlier, gross displays of injustice by other ALPA members upon other ALPA members? I mentioned some perfect action that destroyed sacrifce and hard work at UAL, EAL, FAL and others. Or is it ok to desire greed as long as you are wearing that pin and are in the group doing the porking?

Can you answer the question why so many former ALPA members are on the scab list? Why if in all it's glory ALPA has turned so many against it's own union?

No sir, in the end YOU are managements best friend. The problem is, you are not mature enough to realize it.

NO, I am not a scab,

My main,"sober" point is we usually hear pilots standing on a soap box spouting hatred towards scabs when our main enemy is often ourselves.

There is no unity among pilot groups, none. One airline group is more than happy to pillage another in the name of free enterprise. Pilots can't kick 60 year olds out of their seat in the name of safety fast enough just so you might get an upgrade. I could go on and on.

Please understand, until we all start treating each others as professionals and unite against management's desire to "Wallmart" the skies the seat you say you own is only a temporary warm seat in a game of musical chairs.

Focus your strengths look to the future and quit living in the past.

I see where you're coming from.
I personally am not a scab and will or never will choose to become one.

IMHO, alot of pilots are backstabbing greedy individuals. You've heard the one about how copper wire is formed? Two airline captains fighting over a penny.

Over and over I see pilots rejoice in their fellow pilots getting fired, quitting, retiring, or getting their medical taken away just so that pilot is able to move up a notch on the senioity list. Then these same individuals march in the picket line and talk about unity.

I see pilots who were normally very friendly and well-liked within the pilot group become chief pilots or check airmen. Then they quickly turn into little Hitlers just because all of a sudden they've aquired a little power. Then they march around like the big fish in the little pond backstabbing all the fellow pilots they used to fly the line with.

You're right, there is no unity among pilot groups. All I hear in the cockpit are pilots whining. If they're not whining about their own company, they're whining about a different company. Then there's the type of pilot you fly with who is jealous of the guys who have good jobs (fedex, ups, SW, etc..) and they start to downgrade them just out of jealousy.

No wonder there are scabs..with all the negativity, backstabbing and disunity, it's a wonder some pilot groups are able to pull together to form a picket line.

CAL back in 1983 hired a couple guys from my reserve unit in 1983, I was unemployed, and they told me I was a shoe in because they really needed pilots. All my ALPA buddies in my reserve unit back then told me if I crossed the line at CAL I would be branded as a SCAB, be banded from ever having a decent job and probably end my career flying for some non-sked at YIP. With that admonition I decided not to cross the line. However 32 years later the guys that crossed have nice retirements and look where I ended up at some non-sked at YIP.

Those same guys are dues paying members in good standing with ALPA today.

What a system we have!
