This has been going on while we have had pilots on the street.

If management wanted to fly UA airplanes with crews that were not UA then I have a problem with this.

I have a problem with ALPA National approving it, the UAL MEC approving it, and the the UA pilots approving it.

Basically It's like this:

1. Out source RJ flying and get rid of 737's at UA. Lots of jobs lost. Jobs outsourced to lower paying regionals. WHile they may not be scab pilots flying struck work, they are flying our outsourced revenue and perhaps our industry hasn't caught up enough to give it a "label", but I only have one word for a replacement worker.

2. It's closer to 20 crews to staff the IAD-MAD operation. That is premium wide body flying being outsourced to another airline while your pilots are on the street. Surely ALPA wanted to save the wide body jobs too....

OK, Scab may be too strong, but there needs to be a word for it when your union gives away your jobs and your management team looks to continue, enhance, and bolster this practice.

It ain't about the 76 seat class RJ, it's about the 96 seat RJ, and now it's about trans-atlantic flying.

Our entire career and profession is under attack. It is being attacked by ALPA, by management's, by our own government, by foreign carriers.

Hunker down....Maybe some Scab didn't take those jobs, but it wasn't the boogie man.
