Dinger said:IT'S NOT ABOUT LABOR RELATIONS AND COLLECTIVE BARGAINING.....IT'S ABOUT SOLIDARITY AS A PILOT GROUP. If you are picketing, obviously the labor relations and collective bargaining didn't do squat.
We try and stick together to get a fair shake in this industry but some selfish, spineless lizards undermine it. It allows management to take advantage of us. The strength of a pilot group is only as strong as its weakest link.
How many times have you "seen" on this board people complaining about pilots willing to fly jets for darn near free, all the while they complain about the industry wages taking a nose dive because of it. It is a somewhat similar situation.
As long as there a SCABS and people willing to whore themselves out as a professional pilot flying 70 seaters for 24k/year we will never, ever, ever have any true strength at the table.
Unfortuneatley, there will always be the ones willing to sell out the profession..........it is here to stay, that is why our jobs don't have the "shine" to them that they used to.
So, off to work I go.
When I first saw the Ode to a SCAB, I also thought that it was a bit extreme to include the Heaven and Hell points of view, but I think the author was expressing the fact that a SCAB deserves no respect. NONE! A scab is a worthless, spinless being who cares only about himself. He is basically a thief who is accepting personal gain at the cost of others who deserve it. I repeat, HE DESERVES NO RESPECT!
A young guy who is busting his a$$ as a flight instructor, commuter pilot or charter pilot for low wages in the hope of making a major deserves respect. He/she is working hard at each rung of the ladder hoping to make it to the top. The SCAB has found a way to climb the ladder while skipping steps others who have pride and respect in themselves must take.
Wages as flight instructors, charter pilots and commuter pilots will always be lower than the majors, but that doesn't mean that these pilots shouldn't fight for every nickle they can get.
