And in fact that's what a scab is if you go down the list on webster.
The same company that furloughed me, the same one that was signing my paycheck, is hiring new pilots for the same holdings company. If those new pilots aren't scabs or at least represent the same thing then I don't know what to tell you.

Well, I just checked Webster's and there is no reference to a worker being a scab unless there's a strike.
I understand the alter ego carrier issue and it sucks. However, one who is employed at said carrier isn't a scab.
Anyway, I'm finished so it looks like we'll have to agree to disagree. I really am sympathetic to TSA pilots. However, I will not deny a GJ pilot a jumpseat until they are actually scabs.
