Please help a fellow union brother not SCAB.

Bash the coercion all you want, but I'm betting that it's exactly that that has caused you to decide that you'd rather quit. Sounds like mission accomplished to me.

Quitting and moving on is what some of the most respectable former CAL pilots did during the strike.

There's a poster on here who talks of moving on from an undesirable situation...

United we stand-Divided we fall.

That's the easiest way I can describe it to you.

One pilot crossing the line gives management a hard on and let's them know that there are chinks in the armor. Especially if you're two years from a strike and you're already letting them know you'll scab.

That this is the tone of the conversation over there, means Mgt has them by the short and curlies, and the union is not managing this well. Build a case, then take a strike vote.

The coercion definitely works. I am just pointing out the contrast between normally moral and decent people who approve of this mistreatment of other people when it comes to unions. A deviation from how they live the other parts of their lives.

I have NOT said I will scab. In fact, I almost certainly won't.

Works for me.

You see, the "almost" in that sentence is the problem. You criticizing anyone else's morals is laughable.

Why is it laughable? I would never mistreat someone for disagreeing with me.

Stabbing your coworkers in the back while they fight for improvements is the lowest of the low. No one is worse than a scab.

There's one thing worse. A lot worse. And that's a union that eats itself and destroys other members lives for no legitimate reason. Pilot ranks are chocked FULL of them, and you're not helping in the least. There is absolutely NOTHING going wrong enough at Netjets for them to be having this conversation.

"Stabbing your coworkers in the back?" What an imflammatory phrase. Its always a war with you guys. War with the company, war with members who disagree with you, lifelong bitter conflict. Gad.
