Be very careful with the "SCAB" word
In reference to the other thread that was closed, those were not Boeing pilots. Boeing came up with an idea to use contract pilots (Cambridge Communications limited) to deliver aircraft and train pilots around the world. The actual Boeing pilots have been fighting for a contract for years. I knew a guy who told everybody he was going to Boeing but I quizzed him, as he wasn't American, and after some careful questioning, he did admit he was not actually going to Boeing. It would not surprise me if he was in Colombia flying the 787.
A number of airlines around the world are using these guys. Mostly foreign carriers. So, if you really want to support Boeing pilots, stop flying Boeings. We all know that is not going to happen. Just stop throwing the word Scab around like Candy, it's irresponsible.

Definitely.
We need a list.
When I started in this industry, most captains wanted to see your union card for a Jumpseat. And most carried a scab list.
Same with checkrides.
That’s the way it should be.
You **** your buddies like that, and the lifetime of payback is well deserved.

They crossed a picket line and flew struck work. "throwing the word scab around like candy"? Gimme a break, these guys ARE scabs. I'll give you that they aren't AMPA members, but the Avianca debacle was organized and facilitated by BCA, they ARE Boeing's scabs. No?

Scab like behavior yes, I wouldn't want them at my company.
I wouldn't mind having a list (but it cannot be posted on APC).

This cadre of pilots performed struck work at the expense of Avianca pilots who were striking (and being fired for striking).
Absolutely scabs.
