I just finished day number 2 with the scabs. The Captain I am with is a 9 year EAL guy. We pretty much give them the cold shoulder. One guy was trying to sprinkle a little personality around so I farted on him. Just kidding--we blew him off and so did the FA's. Hey all, again I apologize for the rude post I had earlier. There were a couple posts asking about what would happen if the scabs were not there to do the maintenace and what if the guy I beefed on did not make the airplanes work and would I get a paycheck?blah blah blah. My feeling is that if these scabs did not work the airplanes, then AMFA would prevail and that would make me very happy. I would like their plan to work. I would like very much for the flying to slow to a point that management comes back to AMFA with an offer. No I would not get a paycheck and that would be fine with me because it would mean that at least AMFA'S plan had some teeth in it. I just do not think it will happen.
Hey Redmeat, my take on the PFAA situation is that management is bluffing by training replacement FA's. The sheer numbers are overwhelming and I do not think the PFAA is fooled. They are scared, but not fooled.
Hey PW 4000,
I did not get the whole post, but I do support my union. I have gone to bat for ALPA here pretty exhaustively. I agree that given the right conditions, we are replaceable. That has been proved by Pinnacle and Mesaba. I do not say that bitterly. It is just a fact.
