Words of a Scab.....

[say again]

I'm certain the captain knew it was a scab flight, he hasn't even bothered to refute his listing on the scab list. I'll bet that the FO's Falcon Air ex-Midwest brethren will find out the truth about his story and then we'll all know the facts.

Ignorance isnt an excuse.

 

[boomlrd]

Can someone PM me with the details on the Captain, pictures would be helpful as well. We are trying to confirm the identity. We have his name from the customs form, but we need pictures of him as well, thanks!

Falcon Air isn't unionized. The pilots there are *MOSTLY* former ALPA, Teamsters, etc (highly experienced furloughed or permanently-furloughed (Midwest) pilots from other carriers).

And yes, Florida is an at-will work state; if the Falcon Air pilots refuse to fly, they're risking termination without recourse to grievance. So every Falcon Air pilot who DID refuse to fly those flights deserves our respect and appreciation for risking termination in a TERRIBLE hiring environment to support Spirit pilots.

Those who didn't refuse... well... as a mod, I should just shut up before I say something I shouldn't, even though all of this is my personal opinion and not posting as a mod.

Thank you

I'd like to not discuss it here either, but it seems no matter where you go on FI.com, there's a west pilot making some false remark about the union or mis-using the word "scab." Perhaps these digressions should be nipped in the bud. Or, I suppose you can just let them spread lies and discontent and require that no one challenges them. That's how several other forums operate.

That's what I was trying to do, nip it in the bud before it turned into a East/West love fest... again... It seems to have served its purpose, and if it doesn't, I'll just start deleting posts at will that talk about it in this or any other Spirit thread.

Also, had to delete several posts for language and one post for naming of names... AGAIN... Knock it off. PM each other for that stuff, please.

Thanks.

Not ready to forgive and forget just yet, but after reading the FO's last statement on the Spirit scab site, I'm starting to think there is a possibility he is sincere in his contrition and really didn't grasp what was going on.

The captain, on the other hand... :angryfire

 

[Dizel8]

Yeah, I am not sure about the F/O, he may just be so clueless he shouldn't be flying airplanes.

Then again, he was laid up with an injury and at no time did he read the news/surf the internet/watch TV and so to claim he didn't know what was going on at Spirit sounds to sad to be true?

I will let the Spirit pilots decide!

resume

Someone on our company site posted the F/O's resume and one of his references was a CAL F/O that is on the master list. (eastern) Nice company he keeps.

 

[Snapshot]

If the Info posted on the Spirit Scab website is accurate, there is to be no quarter for Scabby Scabberton.

He states that he saw people taking his picture and the Captain informed him of who they were. If he had walked off the plane at the outstation and cried ignorance, there's a 4% chance of acquittal. However, he did the return flight while fully informed of the circumstance.
Also, he makes a big point of declaring that "If he only knew that everyone else" was being a man, that he would have followed suit. He falls back on it repeatedly, so as to lead me to believe that what is right is not what matters, it's what everyone else does. To whit, if everyone else had decided to work flights, he would have seen no problem.

Convicted. This dirtbag gets the Scarlet "S" for the rest of his life.

" I think he knew full well. He just didn't appreciate how swift justice was. Now that he does he is full of remorse. "


BINGO.

Amen to that.

Quit listing people's names!! How many times do I have to say it!

Moderator hat off: I agree with you.

Moderator hat on: Don't post their names. If people want to go to the Spirit Scab site and look it up, we're leaving that link up for that purpose. I know it seems like a thin line to walk (and it is), but we have to insist on this caveat...

Thanks,

I am on FMLA right now. Last flight was April 27. Next flight in Aug. I know about the strike. Just sayin.... I am not sure if I am willing to hate these guys. You can revisit the first post I made in this thread for why but the point is that if he didn’t know about the strike he may not know a lot of other things. Kennedy was shot in Dallas. We have a black president. Eating at McDonalds can make you fat. Marriages performed by the Big and Tasty are not recognized in any of the 50 states. O yea. A passenger carrying airline is on strike for the first time since??? When? Does anyone know? Is there a list?

 

[T B O N E]

The f/o started his own thread on APC

 

[CA1900]

Yup: http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/major/51402-my-side-story-falcon-f-o.html

 

[Lear70]

Oh holy crap... he's gonna take a pasting over there.

I'm gonna go get my popcorn for this one.

 

[CA1900]

Indeed. He sealed his fate with this statement: "...if I had refused to fly back [after realizing what happened] ... my company would have most likely have fired me. Who was going to pay my bills then?"

Wow...

 

[Lear70]

Yeah, I saw that... unbelievable.

He's pretty much toast, methinks. The poster later in the thread was right, he should probably just leave the country for a while (a long, long while).

Wow...

Wow times a billion squared to the Nth degree... Talk about spitting in the strikers' faces!

 

[1.3XVso]

im sick.

 

[terrehautesux]

Fine, everyone beat him down pretty good and he's bleeding. Now, ... The Captain, I want to see that thread.

The reason for the "beat down" is not only did he cross the picket line, but his ignorance and the pathetic excuses he used. ie. blaming others for his mistakes. His remark really explains the SCAB mentality to the T..."Who was going to pay my bills then?" He deserves no remorse.

The Captain deserves the same "beat down", but my guess would be that he could really give a rats a$$ about it.

 

[Ticker]

11 pages and counting over at APC.com I gotta pour me a beverage and settle in for the show!

Way to go all you Spirit folks!

 

[C601]

lol @ the McDonalds Career link over there ....

 

[Lear70]

The Home Depot one had me laughing, as did the Truckmasters comment.

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

who knew

The captain knew, he knew... h*@#, even the dog knew he was scabbing!

 

[Ticker]

...man that was a good read!

 

[linepilot]

JetBlue is hiring. These two guys could get a fresh start over there.
Those pilots have zero control over their "share-holder-friendly and oh-so-flexible" seniority list.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]After God had finished the rattlesnake, the toad, and the vampire, he had some awful substance left with which he made a scab.

A scab is a two-legged animal with a corkscrew soul, a water brain, a combination backbone of jelly and glue. [/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Where others have hearts, he carries a tumor of rotten principles.

When a scab comes down the street, men turn their backs and angels weep in heaven, and the devil shuts the gates of hell to keep him out.

No man (or woman) has a right to scab so long as there is a pool of water to drown his carcass in, or a rope long enough to hang his body with. [/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Judas was a gentleman compared with a scab. [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]For betraying his master, he had character enough to hang himself. A scab has not.

Esau sold his birthright for a mess of pottage.

Judas sold his Savior for thirty pieces of silver.

Benedict Arnold sold his country for a promise of a commision in the british army.[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The scab sells his birthright, country, his wife, his children and his fellowmen for an unfulfilled promise from his employer.

Esau was a traitor to himself; Judas was a traitor to his God; Benedict Arnold was a traitor to his country.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A scab is a traitor to his God, his country, his family and his class.
