What do you talk about when they are on your jumpseat?
Sports, women, how crappy of a schedule they got, etc. etc. Why would this concern you?

Not a concern. I just wondered what one would say to a scab, especially for hours in a fixed closed, locked compartment....... What would you talk about? fair labor practices?

No, I sincerely did not know that such a master scab list was real, because I had never seen it. I tend to be skeptical. When I found this list online, I was a little shocked. I actually found it by accident. I was looking up an old co-worker from a few jobs ago, and the list came up in the google search. The guy was an Eastern scab. He is now elderly. I always thought that small groups might keep their own scab list for a particular company or one union, but this comprehensive Master Scab List is quite incredible, and as I now know; quite real. I understand why pilots get emotional and passionate on this subject. It really hurts when you initiate a group labor action and put it all on the line, only to have a few weak ones wreck the whole thing. I can imagine that it must be utterly gut wrenching. It is something I will never do. I will never be a scab.Oh, I think he knew it was real. He's been having great fun getting some of the more intense members here fired up. :laugh:
I know someone on the UAL "scab" list. He was offered a job by UAL during the strike. He called ALPA who told him, "go to class but don't operate a trip". He did go to class, the strike was over before he completed training.
He was hired off the street as a 727 Captain but never operated a trip as a Captain as he went to the back seat. United paid him as a Captain from day one.
A year or two later, ALPA found out he was being paid as a Captain and wanted him to give ALPA the difference clear back to day one. He said "No". How is that a scab?
ALPA is f^cked up. Would I cross a picket line? probably not, but I'm not blindly following a union that has done nothing but screw me since I became a member.
ALPA is not about you or me, it's about ALPA. The members of ALPA who work on safety issues have my respect and admiration. The union leadership doesn't. Your leader now is a bafoon. The one before was a thief. That's my opinion..............
How do you justify Capt. pay so early in employment? The rest of the pilots earned Capt pay only when they went thru the seniority list.
Did ALPA want the difference in his salary or the difference in SO dues vs Capt dues?
