Valu Jet was often referred to as Scab Jet! And before any Air-Tran guys get upset I said was. Not is still.
So there is no such thing as a "scab airline".

This guy this started this post if Flamebait if any airline called him up and offered him $250,000 per year to hire into the right seat of a B747 but he had to have a scab in the right seat and a scab on the panel he would hop right out of that Cessna 172 and be their tommorrow. People make choices to be scabs and they have to live with that decision the rest of their careers. Personally I support Alpa 100% and as an ALPA member I frown upon scabs but I don't let it affect me in the cockpit.

Nobody pays union guys 250,000 per year to right seat in anything. If they do, they're pissing their money away for nothing. You don't even need an ATP to hold that seat.

Personally, no I would not. I was assuming that his question more pertained to whether or not working at an airline with scabs on the property would hurt his chances down the road, so I focused my answer towards that part of it.

However, now that the subject has been brought up, a good point is do you want to work with these people? Here are my thoughts:

Scabs cannot be trusted. Working with a scab is not too much different than working with an ex-convict, although I would probably be more sympathetic towards the ex-con. Scabs are the closest thing to sub-human existence on this planet.

Speaking of sub human..........is that a real picture of you? Sounds like you might be an expert on this subject, sub humans that is. Sorry coudn't resist.
 
Sounds like your looking for a fight. Maybe with your entry level into this business you should drop it and concentrate on more important issues.

Just a friendly reminder, gang... Do not post any names or links to scab lists here. Doing so gets you an immediate ride to Banville, according to the wishes of Mark, the FI Founder.

Thanks,

It would be interesting to see the airlines with the highest percentage of scabs.

I am not sure why it would be "interesting" at all. Why do you care anyway and if can't figure it out, you must be pretty ignorant of the airline labor history over the last 30 years. There are much more important thing facing the pilot population than this issue IMO at least.

Why so touchy on this subject?
 
Not touchy at all, just been around longer than you and realize this is munitia rather than substance in the career path of most pilots today.

Just an honest question..what's the big deal about posting the scab list. It's public information anyway. I don't see how it would reflect negatively upon this website in any way. Most of the scabs are old and crusty anyway, they'll all be turning 60 soon enough.

No, but the resembelence is not too far off.

Agree.

Spooky:

What is the big deal not hating scabs?
Ya got a short memory?
Ya ever worked for an ALPA carrier back then?

CAL, UAL, EAL.?

I would rather drive a wheel barrow in Siberia than crossing a picket line in Florida.

Reality is that some of those arseholes are stil flying in various cockpits.
The sooner they die, hopefully in great pain from moral cancer, the better it is.:puke:
