RTH there are scabs everywhere. Even in our house as the IBT has no say in who is hired.
That said I'd like to comment on something Wolf mentioned. Believe it or not I know there are good and bad things about being Union and NonUnion. In fact I wish there were better ways to rid ourselves of guys that are not actually Capt material who somehow continue to pass checkrides. I believe that many of the check airman just don't want the hassle of doing the paperwork required. That isn't a Union problem it's a Pilot problem. What the Union does do is allow a person the right based on pure seniority the right to try to be a Captain. It's unfortunate that some guys pass when they probably shouldn't. I've only flown with 2 guys that fit into that category in 7 years here. But I'm sure there are a couple of them at NJI as well.
I also hope that Gulfstream comes out with a 250. It would be nice to see how they can improve a pretty nice ride.
