Kind of crazy how these threads get so off topic sometimes! Anyway, the whole scab discussion reminded me of of a guy I interviewed once. My prior job was flying corporate jets for a large U.S. corporation, and I was asked to participate whenever we would be interviewing for a new pilot position. I remember this one guy that we interviewed who had Eastern Airlines listed on his resume as prior experience. After some questioning it became apparent that the guy had crossed the picket line. It was unanimous during our post interview discussion that there was no way we would hire this guy because he was a scab. This was coming from a group of part 135 guys, not ALPA members (yet), just building time and hoping to get on at a major. I saw the guy we interviewed a little over a year later down in Miami throwing baggage into a ratty looking Lear, I'd imagine he's still doing it...
