What part don't you get Slaquer? Of course not everybody feels the same way. But for those of us that know history, who once abundantly respected the strikers, it was a slap in the face to see a striker change the retirement age the way he did. And then to not only not have a follow-up plan to help the marginalized (an assurance that was made), but to go on and have zero appreciation for the extra 5 years. Most of these guys weren't going to strike if they didn't get full strike benefits from ALPA ($600/week). There are a lot of strikers, and there are a lot of scabs, but there aren't too many around anymore who paid through the nose on assessments. It's not likely you've met any of them and you don't know their perspective. As far as the UAL guys go, a growing number of them feel the same way. They've watched senior guys who sold out scope, wrecked the pension, and sued ALPA for 40 mil take their extra five years and bump from airplane to airplane and avoid the real cuts. It is complete BS! Most of the old guys know it too. They are the ones with their "eyes down going to work", hoping not too many figure out what crocks of siht they are. Scab or striker makes no difference these days. Both will steal everything they can.
