Scabs..HMMM I'm not even in this dog fight but I know which side has scabs working for them.
Eagle;
I don't have a copy of the "scab list", but I believe that most (if not all) of the Wein guys are gone. The pilots that participated in the Ansett ordeal may not have done it right, but they filled jobs of pilots that QUIT. All properties have a "scab" or more than one in some fashion.
In the meantime, my eastern brothers and sisters have managed to do the following:
1. Prior to the vote, many failed to stay current w/ ALPA....all the time
knowing that no pilot at AAA or AWA had
EVER been fired for paying union dues.
2. Managed to get a new union voted in on the platform that "ALPA Screwed US at US Air".
3. Developed a new union that's central theme is that Date of Hire is THE ONLY way to do seniority (
unless you are an Empire or Shuttle East pilot...then you don't count).
4. Are now suing (presently) 16 named fellow pilots plus 1-100 "John Does" for various issues (you should read the lawsuit). These would be the pilots that they claim to represent....East and West.
5. And finally are petitioning the company to immediately fire any AWA pilot that does not join the union or pay agency fees.
I won't even go into what list(s) may or may not be used when the furloughs start.
Now.....where did I put that "Beating a Dead Horse" icon??????
